India's family offices rise to 300 in 2024: Report
The Indian Family Office Playbook highlighted how these offices evolved from traditional roles of succession planning and wealth preservation into sophisticated institutions making active investments across sectors and borders. This shift coincides with a wave of liquidity events, from business listings to private equity exits, and a rise in families with net worth above $30 million, expected to reach 19,000 by 2028.
"As more families formalise their wealth structures, the role of the family office is expanding, from investment and governance to succession, sustainability and globalisation," the report stated. While traditional allocations to public equities and fixed income remain relevant, family offices are increasingly channelling capital into alternatives such as private equity, venture capital, private credit, REITs, and InvITs.
The trend is led by first-generation entrepreneurs and risk-tolerant families looking to diversify portfolios and capture long-term growth, the report added.
The growth of family offices is also reshaping succession planning, with families focusing more sharply on governance and formal structures. The report noted that formal succession policies, wills, and trusts are gaining prominence, helping families mitigate internal conflicts and enable seamless transfers across generations.

"Family offices have become hubs for managing complexity, aligning financial, legal, and philanthropic interests across generations," the report stated. "With rising globalisation, digitalisation, and evolving regulations, their role will only deepen as India emerges as a critical node in the global investment landscape." The study also pointed to Gift City as an emerging base for global investments, allowing families access to international markets with favourable tax and operational benefits.
The trend towards structured, institutional approaches is expected to intensify as families evolve from entrepreneurs to multi-generational stewards of capital.

Vodafone says close to returning to growth in Germany
By James Davey LONDON: Vodafone said it is close to returning to growth in Germany, its biggest market, as the mobile operator reported a tick up in first-quarter group organic service revenue growth. Vodafone has struggled in Germany since it was tripped up by a change in the rules on selling cable television to apartments. Its performance there is, however, on an improving trajectory. While first-quarter organic service revenue growth in Germany fell 3.2%, this was an improvement on the previous quarter's 6.0% decline. "We are close to returning to growth (in Germany), it will happen in the next few quarters," Chief Executive Margherita Della Valle told reporters on Thursday. "We can't give you the precise month, but it's coming," she said. The group as a whole reported a 5.5% rise in group organic service revenue in the first quarter, a slight increase on the previous quarter that reflected positive outcomes in Britain, the rest of Europe, Turkey and Africa. Vodafone also reiterated its full-year guidance of growth in profit and cash flow. Della Valle has reshaped the British group in the last two years, by selling operations in Spain and Italy and merging its British operations with those of CK Hutchison to create "VodafoneThree". Analysts have applauded Della Valle's actions, which have reduced debt and sharpened Vodafone's operational performance. Vodafone shares were up 2%, extending 2025 gains to 24%. "After two years of transformation and change, Vodafone is now well positioned for multi-year growth across both Europe and Africa," Della Valle said. VodafoneThree started operating on June 1 and is now fully consolidated in the group's results. Vodafone's full-year guidance includes the impact of the merger. It said it expected to report core earnings of between 11.3 billion and 11.6 billion euros ($13.3 billion and $13.6 billion) and adjusted free cashflow of 2.4 billion to 2.6 billion euros. First-quarter core earnings rose 4.9% on an organic basis to 2.7 billion euros.
