    What Brahma, Vishnu & Mahesh Teach Us About Building FMCG Brands | Dipak Sanghavi

    What does it really take to build a business that lasts for generations? In this episode of Next In Line, Mohit sits down with Dipak Sanghavi of Nilons for a candid conversation about family, leadership, ambition and the responsibility that comes with carrying a legacy forward. From growing up around a family business to navigating difficult phases, bringing in professional leadership, making tough decisions around ownership and building a company beyond one individual, Dipak’s journey offers a very different perspective on what it means to be a custodian of a business. What makes the conversation especially interesting is Dipak himself. He speaks with remarkable candour about success, mistakes, control, people and the need to put the business before personal ownership. For Mohit, the meeting becomes less about the story of Nilons and more about understanding the person behind it—and what his approach reveals about building businesses that can outlive their founders. Legacy can be inherited. Leadership cannot.

    What Reliance & Mukesh Ambani Teach Us About Indian Family Businesses ft. Rajiv Gupta

    What makes Indian family businesses succeed — and what causes them to break down across generations? In this episode of Nexxt in Line, corporate veteran and author Rajiv Gupta breaks down the messy reality of family businesses: succession, professional CEOs, promoter dynamics, next-gen leadership, governance, and the culture of the traditional “Lala” company. Rajiv Gupta has held senior leadership roles at Reliance Petroleum Retail and Honda Cars. At 55, he left a stable corporate career to become CEO of Tricolite Electrical Industries, a 60-year-old family business that had never appointed an outsider CEO and had stagnated for more than a decade. In three years, he grew the company 300% in both top line and bottom line. He is now Chairperson of the School of Family Business at Masters' Union and author of The Good Indian Employee's Guide to Surviving a Lala Company. In this conversation, Rajiv speaks candidly about: What he learned from the execution culture at Reliance and working under Mukesh Ambani Why professional CEOs often fail inside family businesses How first-generation founders and next-generation leaders clash The 100-day blueprint for entering your family business Why daughters need real equity, roles and decision-making powerHow family businesses can prepare for succession How an outsider can earn trust inside a promoter-led business Why legacy alone does not create effective leadershipWhy this episode matters? Indian family businesses are built on decades of relationships, sacrifice and accumulated knowledge. But as businesses move from one generation to the next, the rules often need to change. Rajiv Gupta's experience offers a practical playbook for promoters, next-generation leaders and professional executives trying to navigate that transition.Follow us on: Website: http://nextinlinewithmohitgoel.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nexxtinlinewith_mohitgoel/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/people/Nexxt-In-Line-with-Mohit-Goel/Follow Mohit Goel on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mohitgoelofficial/
