Hello!

We are delighted to present the latest issue of Family Enterprise Quarterly (FEQ), featuring inspiring leaders from prominent family businesses, including Michael Hilti (Hilti), Keshav Bhatia (Gobind Ram Kahan Chand – GRKC), Rati Forbes (Forbes Marshall Group), and Akshit Batra (I Can Education). Their stories reflect the strength, vision, and values that drive successful family enterprises.

This issue features a case summary of Zandu Pharmaceutical Works : The Takeover Bid (B) and Bikanervala – A Taste of Tradition under the Vintage Regional Icon section, along with article summaries with an overarching theme, Understanding the Willingness Factor in Family Business Succession. It also highlights key insights from the book How to Thrive in a Family Business (Business Lessons from my Baidyanath Journey) and the story of The Samsung Paradox: A Global Tech Titan Trapped in a Family Dynasty in the Global Story section.

Hopefully, you will find the FEQ contents stimulating. We look forward to your feedback and continued support!

Best Regards,
