Stewardship through seventy six generations
Few families can claim continuity of existence for more than 76 generations either in business or otherwise. This workshop will showcase the House of Mewar, a family with an unbroken chain of custodianship for more than 13 centuries and which has had to diversify to protect its heritage and cultural legacy. The family’s role as stewards not only of the business but of the territories in which they live has transformed both family and business and contributed to an enterprise which has demonstrated long-term sustainability.
