Partha had spent most of his working life building a successful business. Over the years, the business had become closely connected to the family's financial security.
His children were now at a different stage of life. They had their own careers, their own choices and their own ideas about what they wanted their future to look like.
That changed the conversation.
For Partha, the business had always been central to building the family's wealth. For the next generation, the question was becoming broader. How much of that wealth should remain connected to the business? How should it support the lives they were building? And how much freedom should each person have to make their own choices?
There was no single answer that would necessarily work for everyone.
That is often what makes conversations around family wealth difficult. The wealth may have been built through one person's decisions, but it eventually becomes part of several people's lives.
Before deciding what should happen to it, the family has to understand what each generation wants its future to look like.
When wealth moves across generations, what should remain the same and what should be allowed to change?
