India’s listed holding companies are increasingly becoming portfolio orchestrators rather than passive investment shells—allocating capital across scaled cash-generative cores (NBFC/HFC/insurance/broking), fee-led annuity platforms (AMC, AIF/alternatives, advisory), and optionality bets (healthtech, marketplaces, senior living, tokenization).
