Godrej Family Splits into Two Entities: A New Era Begins
Real Estate:The Godrej group, founded by Ardeshir Godrej and his brother Pirojsha in 1897, has decided to split into two entities, Godrej Enterprises and Godrej Industries, to maintain harmony and align ownership with the differing visions of its family members. The group, which operates in multiple sectors such as chemicals, furniture, security solutions, real estate, and more, will be controlled by two separate family groups

Godrej Enterprises Group (GEG) and Godrej Industries Group (GIG). The GEG, led by Jamshyd Godrej, will focus on businesses such as space, aerospace, defense, and furniture, while the GIG, led by Adi Godrej, will focus on fast-moving consumer goods, food and beverages, and pharmaceuticals, among others. The two groups have also agreed to a six-year non-compete agreement and have proposed the use of a distinguishable group-level differentiator to avoid confusion. Analysts believe the split will allow each group to be better off financially and will lead to improved valuation and long-term shareholder value.
