Raju Swamy
With over 40 years of experience, Raju Swamy has been at the forefront of Family Business Consulting in India through PROMAG Consultancy Services, which he founded in 1985. Initially focused on strategic planning and operational management, he soon recognized the profound influence of family dynamics on business decision-making.
His deepening understanding of family-business interdependencies led to a specialized approach addressing Structure, Strategy, Governance, Trust, Ownership, Professionalization, Continuity, Succession, and Growth. This expertise has shaped Family Constitutions, ensuring sustainable family unity and business perpetuation. He firmly believes that growth fosters harmony, while stagnation leads to conflict and disintegration.
Raju’s diverse clientele spans chemicals, automotive, IT, jewelry, electrical engineering, agro industries,
and more. His insights are enriched by 18 years in the automobile components industry, where he progressed from Management Trainee to Country Head of Marketing after earning his MBA from IIM Calcutta’s first batch (1966). Additionally, his learning has been enhanced by direct exposure to Prof. John Ward, a global authority on Family Business Governance, through CII’s Annual Family Business Conventions (2000–2014).
Raju Swamy has also authored a book, “Family Business in India”, which has sold over 5,000 copies since its release in 2021, making it a valuable resource for business leaders and entrepreneurs.
