After successful 2 editions, we bring to you the 3rd edition

About Family Office Cohort


To sensitize and build capabilities in family businesses across India to engage with the startup ecosystem


Startups in India have mostly received capital from countries such as the United States, China, Japan, and Australia. When it comes to investing in startups, Indian investors are still a minority. 


Indian family offices, HNIs, and UHNIs like to invest in traditional asset classes such as stocks, real estate, and gold. 


If a portion of their capital were directed towards backing Indian companies, the ecosystem would get a considerable boost and as well as it would be a great wealth generation juggernaut for the country. 


CIES is collaborating with investment networks and family offices to encourage HNIs and family offices to invest in startups domestically through cohorts.
