A Privately Owned and Managed Family Office
Rai Legacy Partners is a professional single-family office with $120M AUM, established to manage the Rai family’s financial, business, and personal affairs while safeguarding their legacy for future generations.
Dedicated to supporting family members, the company oversees investment strategies, operating businesses, and managing investment vehicles.
Rai Legacy Partners takes great pride in its working relationships with other family offices, as well as its vast network of top financial advisors around the world.
The Rai family's nobility title and legacy date back 400 years to the Mughal Empire in India. As one of the largest private landowners in Northern India today, the family's origins can be traced to the reign of Emperor Mohammad Shah.
Their ancestral grandfather, a humble servant to the people, established a free food kitchen (langar), providing nourishment to weary travelers, impoverished locals, noble statesmen, and religious figures passing through India.
The langar was founded on principles of inclusivity, welcoming all people regardless of religion, caste, color, creed, age, gender, or social status.
This tradition, introduced into Sikhism around 1500 CE in Punjab, became a powerful symbol of equality and charity.
In 1902, following British rule and the governance of the East India Company, the land was once again officially recognized and decreed to the Rai family.
To this day, they continue to uphold their ancestral commitment, ensuring the langar and the land operate as originally intended.
Preserving this legacy remains both an honor and a responsibility for the Rai family.
The Rai family is committed to their philanthropic responsibilities. Their initial focus is on continuing the legacy of the langar in India, with the objective of nourishing over 10,000 individuals in need per month. This is in addition to their support for children's initiatives, legal platforms, and women's empowerment. www.RaiLegacyFoundation.org
