The success of the first season exceeded all our expectations, with over 125 family businesses participating in the inaugural edition of the awards. I’m very excited for the second season where we want even more family-owned businesses to nominate and share their success stories with the world. The Indian Family Business Awards is a celebration of the entrepreneurial spirit and the legacy that family businesses bring to the table. These businesses are the backbone of the Indian economy and have stood the test of time, weathered economic challenges and come out stronger. This awards platform is a testament to the hard work and perseverance of these businesses and the families behind them," said Soumya Rajan, Founder and CEO of Waterfield Advisors.
