Hubbis, Eton Solutions Spotlight India's 1.59 Trillion Family Office Shift

1 articles · Updated · Hubbis · Aug 21

Summary

  • Mumbai roundtable participants said India’s family office market is maturing fast, but many operations still rely on spreadsheets, delayed succession planning and weak governance.
  • Eton Solutions argued fragmented data and manual workflows are the main bottlenecks, with staff spending about 80% of their time on administration instead of advising principals.
  • Generational change is accelerating the push for digitisation and formal structures, as second- and third-generation family members press for consolidated reporting, diversification and clearer governance.
  • Jurisdiction choices are also broadening beyond Singapore and Hong Kong toward Dubai, Thailand and GIFT City, while RBI scrutiny keeps many families cautious on offshore ODI and OPI structures.
  • Eton said AI adoption should come only after data is unified and trusted, positioning its AtlasFive platform—which holds $1.59 trillion across 1,173-plus families in 15 countries—as that foundation.
