The sudden death of Sunjay Kapur, owner of one of India’s largest auto component manufacturers, Sona Comstar, has sparked a fierce family inheritance dispute. His mother, Rani Kapur, considers her son’s death suspicious and defends her position in the company’s management.
Rani Kapur claims that according to a 2015 will, she is the sole heir, but Sona Comstar denies this and states she has had no role in the company for several years. The company management says it operates on a legal basis.
Over 90 percent of registered companies in India are family-controlled, but only 63 percent have formal succession plans. This causes many family disputes over inheritance and management, negatively affecting company value.
Experts emphasize the importance of clear succession plans, preparing the next generation, and effective management distribution in family businesses. These factors are key to long-term business stability.
