Meeting Peers
in Family Business

Meeting Peers in Family Business is something new and very unique!

I have never heard about a forum exclusively designed for family business owners. Sunil has designed this in a very structured way, and the discussions will certainly resonate with your own needs in the family business.

It’s a great opportunity to network with business owners from different cities and industries in a similar age group with similar aspirations. It’s very comforting to have a space to talk about our experiences in the family business with like minded peers. I think 2 hours every 2 weeks at MPFB is certainly worth it!

Not bookish solutions!

A closed and private group to express yourself, where others listen to you without judgments. When I shared my experience, everyone in the group related and shared their experiences, suggesting how I can approach differently.

It's a good opportunity to reflect, to zoom out, and learn through the experiences of other family business owners. You learn from what has worked for other family businesses.

- Mr Varun Biyani, 3rd Generation from Kolkata

Fantastic initiatives for Family Business Owners

Experiences shared by other family business owners, coming from the 2nd and 3rd generations, were very interesting. Learning about the challenges they face and understanding what worked for them was insightful. Some problems we had already faced and resolved, so it was an opportunity to learn from the experiences of other family business owners. The initiative focuses on growing the family business, continuing the legacy, and aligning the family members.

Mr. Sunil Soni
Family Business Practitioner

"Building you to lead the family business."

Experience of 15+ years with family businesses

Do you feel alone
in your family business?

"My father is not ready to let go of his control in business. What do I do?"

"I cant work with my brother, he has anger issues and he shouts at me. I think it would be better if start living separate."

"Rather than encouraging me, my uncle constantly picks on mistakes in my work. I feel so stressed & lonely."

"We can grow 3x in next 5 years but I am not sure how do I align my family to work together in business"

Family businesses come with their own set of unique challenges. Working with family members in business can create confusion around the expectations of business roles and family roles. All members have differences in capabilities and different aspirations in life; this further creates alignment issues and accountability challenges. Communication becomes complex, decisions are delayed, and business performance struggles. During transitions of responsibilities from one generation to the other, the change can become even more complicated.

Our goal is to provide a platform for family business owners and the next generation to connect, exchange experiences, and learn from one another in a confidential and supportive environment to help them resolve these challenges for your family and lead them towards growth.

Lead your family business
towards the growth and harmony

Our insights from 600+ family businesses helped us create breakthroughs for family businesses in decision making, communication, relationship building, and creating strong governance structures for multi-generational success.
