Single family offices in Asia-Pacific to reach 3,200 by 2030, India a bright spot
New Delhi: In the Asia Pacific region, single-family offices have grown to 2,290 (surged by 28 per cent since 2019) and the region is expected to outpace North America moving forward, growing 40 per cent to reach 3,200 offices by 2030, a report showed on Monday, adding that India is undergoing a similar evolution.
A growing number of ultra-high-net-worth individuals and startup founders in the country are turning to institutional family office structures to manage wealth and succession planning, according to a white paper by Lighthouse Canton, a global investment institution.
According to a recent industry report, the number of family offices in the country has grown nearly seven-fold over the past six years, rising from 45 in 2018 to close to 300 in 2024.
The nation's booming startup ecosystem and generational wealth transfer are fuelling this growth, with many Indian families increasingly seeking institutional-grade investment strategies and governance solutions, said the report.
'India's family office ecosystem is standing at a defining threshold. As families evolve in their investment outlook and prepare for generational transitions, the demand for institutional frameworks has become essential,' said Sumegh Bhatia, MD and CEO, of Lighthouse Canton in India.
This isn't just about managing assets, but it's about building long-term structures aligned with purpose, governance, and stewardship.
'We believe family offices in India will increasingly shape the country's capital markets, entrepreneurial ecosystem, and philanthropic landscape,' said Bhatia.
This also underscores the growing importance of AI and digital innovation as critical tools for multi-family offices to remain competitive. As new family office patrons continue to emerge in Asia, digital transformation is expected to become indispensable by 2028.
The whitepaper explored key elements of an institutional approach for families including how these family office models can benefit families in creating structured and scalable investment and specialist services, attracting and retaining best-in-class talent and using technology effectively and efficiently to enhance and consolidate reporting for multi-asset portfolios, manage risk, and increase transparency for families.
It also explored about navigating evolving risk and regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions and global asset allocations.

Stocks to buy under ₹100: Experts recommend five shares to buy today — 12 June 2025
Stocks to buy under ₹ 100: The Indian stock market continued to trade volatile for the sixth straight session on Wednesday. The Nifty 50 index ended higher for the sixth straight session and finished at 25,141. The BSE Sensex gained 123 points and closed at 82,515, while the Bank Nifty index went off 169 points and closed at 56,459. Sectorally, oil & gas, IT, and pharma were the major gainers, demonstrating strength even in a consolidating market. However, Nifty PSU Banks, FMCG, and metal sectors ended the day in the red. In a change from recent trends, the Nifty Mid-cap and Small-cap indices broke their winning streak today. The Nifty Mid-cap 100 Index fell by 0.49%, while the Nifty Small-cap 100 Index went down by 0.53%. However, market breadth remained decisively positive, with advancing stocks significantly outpacing declining ones, as indicated by a BSE advance-decline ratio of 1.24. On the outlook of the Indian stock market today, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research — Wealth Management at Motilal Oswal, said, "Looking ahead, market participants will closely track key economic data points, with US CPI data released on Wednesday, followed by the UK GDP print and India's CPI inflation reading, due on Thursday. Positive developments on the US-China trade front and the India-EU FTA could influence sentiment and set the tone for near-term market direction." Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Shiju Kuthupalakkal, Senior Manager of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, said, "The Nifty 50 index, after consolidating since the last two days, witnessed a volatile session with the initial half progressed ahead to scale the 25,200 zones while post-lunch session succumbed to profit booking to end near the 25,150 level with sentiment slightly turning cautious. The index has the 25,000 zones as the near-term support, while on the upside, the 25,500 level can be expected in the coming sessions once there is a breach above the hurdle of 25,200 levels, with overall bias maintained strong." "The Bank Nifty index has witnessed another session of profit booking to slip further from the peak made near the 57,000 zone, and with the 55,800 to 56,000 band maintained as the important support from the current level, the index is still in the strong territory but would need a decisive breach above the 57,000 level to anticipate for fresh upward move in the coming days to maintain the positive bias intact," Shiju Kuthupalakkal said. Regarding stocks to buy today, market experts Vaishali Parekh, Vice President of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher; Mahesh M Ojha, AVP—Research at Hensex Securities; Sugandha Sachdeva, Founder of SS WealthStreet; and Anshil Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investment and Securities, recommended these five intraday stocks: Lloyds Enterprises, NMDC Steel, Sterlite Technologies, Fedders Holding, and Ugar Sugar Works. 1] Lloyds Enterprises: Buy at ₹ 73, Target ₹ 83, Stop Loss ₹ 70. 2] NMDC Steel: Buy at ₹ 40 to ₹ 41, Targets ₹ 42.40, ₹ 43.80, ₹ 46, Stop Loss ₹ 38.80; and 3] Sterlite Technologies: Buy at ₹ 76.50 to ₹ 77, Targets ₹ 78.50, ₹ 80, ₹ 82, ₹ 85, Stop Loss ₹ 74.60. 4] Fedders Holding: Buy at ₹ 50, Targets ₹ 53, ₹ 54.80, Stop Loss ₹ 48.40. 5] Ugar Sugar Works: Buy at ₹ 51, Target ₹ 58, Stop Loss ₹ 48 (Closing Basis).
