India has highest share of Asia family businesses: Credit Suisse
Mumbai: India has the highest percentage share of family businesses in Asia, accounting for 67% of total listed companies with market capitalisation of more than $50 million, Credit Suisse said in a research report on Thursday.
Energy major Reliance Industries, top IT exporter Tata Consultancy Services, mobile operator Bharti Airtel and No.3 software exporter Wipro are among the top 20 firms in the Credit Suisse “Asian Family Business Basket", the report showed.
The report said Asian family businesses benefit from the long-term and more stable investment strategy of their owners and their performance was supported by family values that view businesses as an inheritance.
