India's wealth management landscape is becoming increasingly competitive, and the Godrej Group is the latest major business house looking to capitalise on the country's expanding pool of affluent investors. Godrej Industries Group has announced the launch of Godrej Wealth, a dedicated wealth management platform that aims to build assets under management worth ₹1 lakh crore by 2031 while expanding its footprint to 35 locations across India over the next five years.
The new venture will operate under Godrej Investments Limited and alongside Godrej Capital, the group's lending business, forming a broader financial services ecosystem designed to cater to the evolving needs of wealthy individuals and families.
Betting on India's growing wealth creation story
The launch comes at a time when India is witnessing a significant rise in entrepreneurship, financialisation and intergenerational wealth transfer. As more families shift their savings towards financial assets and explore increasingly sophisticated investment opportunities, demand for professional wealth advisory services has grown sharply.
Speaking on the launch, Pirojsha Godrej, Chairperson Designate of the Godrej Industries Group, said the company sees wealth management as a key long-term growth driver. He noted that the group's reputation for governance and trust, built over more than a century, provides a strong foundation for creating a long-term wealth management institution.
The company believes investors are increasingly looking for trusted partners capable of helping them navigate complex financial decisions across generations rather than merely offering investment products.

Focus on affluent and high-net-worth clients
Godrej Wealth will primarily serve individuals with investable assets of ₹2 crore and above. Its target audience includes entrepreneurs, business families, non-resident Indians, emerging wealth creators and sophisticated investors with diverse financial requirements.
The platform will offer services spanning wealth management, portfolio structuring, succession planning, private market investments and access to global investment opportunities. The company says its approach will focus on customised solutions tailored to individual financial goals and long-term aspirations.
According to Manish Shah, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Godrej Capital, clients increasingly seek integrated solutions covering investments, liquidity, governance and legacy planning, creating a significant opportunity for firms that can combine expertise with trust.

Building a technology-led advisory platform
At the core of Godrej Wealth's strategy is a technology-enabled and research-driven model. The company plans to leverage proprietary research, disciplined investment frameworks and experienced advisory teams to help clients make informed decisions across market cycles.
Led by Chief Executive Officer Kunal Karnani, the business will focus on four key pillars: integrity-led wealth management, technology-enabled solutions, global diversification and long-term wealth governance.
