Godrej Industries promoters plan family office, Nadir Godrej at helm

• Follow

The promoters of Godrej Industries are setting up a family office to invest in new-age businesses, with an aim to pursue riskier bets in unrelated segments and incubate new ideas. According to a report by Mint quoting Nadir Godrej, the family office will commence its operations with an initial corpus of a few hundred crores, and will raise additional funds as opportunities emerge. The move comes after Godrej’s consumer products arm was investing 100 Cr rupees to anchor the early stage fund Early Spring. Godrej’s family office and investment plans also come as Indian startup funding plummeted 66% to $888 Mn in April 2023.

This could make ONDC emerge as a strong competitor to Swiggy and Zomato.
