While making the announcement of the new school, Dr. Rajan Saxena, Vice Chancellor - NMIMS said, "Family-owned businesses have played a crucial role in the economy of our country. Much of the retail t rade, the small-scale industry and the service sector are run by family businesses. Further, family-managed businesses employ half the world's workforce and generate well over half of the world's GDP. With time, the contribution of family businesses has gone beyond simply paying taxes and employing people. Most of the business families face unique management challenges because of the difference in the attitude and aspiration of family members. As new generations join the business, it is an enormous challenge to keep the family and business together. And the key to this is, Pravin Dalal School for Entrepreneurship and Family Business Management."
