Dr. Sandeep N Setty, a Bengaluru-based estate strategist and one of India’s most trusted advisors to business families, has been awarded an Honorary Doctorate (Honoris Causa) by the Global University for Humanity, Peace, and Education. The honour recognises his pioneering work in intergenerational wealth planning, cross-border asset structuring, and legacy preservation — areas gaining urgency amid India’s largest wealth transition in history.
A Leader in Structuring India’s Generational Wealth Story
Over the past two decades, Dr. Setty has helped over 350 Indian and global families safeguard more than ₹4,000 crores in personal and business assets — not only through legal and financial expertise, but also by preserving family values and avoiding future disputes.
His clients include first-generation wealth creators, family-owned businesses, political leaders, and next-generation inheritors seeking clarity in navigating succession, governance, and multi-jurisdictional estate issues.
“This honour is not about me—it’s about the families who chose to plan with purpose,” said Dr. Setty.
“In today’s India, wealth is being created faster than wisdom can be transferred. My work is to bridge that gap.”
From Complexity to Clarity: The Setty Approach
Dr. Setty is a:
- Certified Trust and Estate Planner
- 4-time author on wealth
- 40 Under 40 honoree recognised for impact in estate planning
- Contributor to Trade body Magazines
His advisory spans:
- Global estate and succession planning
- Family business continuity frameworks
- Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI)
- Retirement and executive compensation strategies
- Mentoring heirs to manage inherited wealth responsibly
“Dr. Setty doesn’t just protect wealth—he protects families,” said Rajendra, a second-generation business owner and long-time client.
“He helped us move from silence to structure, and from uncertainty to unity.”
Beyond Finance: A Purpose-Driven Mission
Outside his advisory work, Dr. Setty supports initiatives in special education, healthcare for children with special needs, and career mentorship for youth from underserved communities.
“He represents a new class of advisors—technically world-class, emotionally grounded, and socially conscious,” said the Board of Advisors, Global University for Humanity, Peace, and Education.
“We honour Dr. Setty for turning finance into a force for family harmony and national impact.”
India at a Crossroads: Why This Honour Matters Now
India is set to witness the transfer of $3.5 trillion in wealth by 2040. The lack of structured estate planning has led to legal disputes, tax losses, and family fractures.
Dr. Setty’s frameworks provide an integrated solution—combining confidentiality, control, continuity, and cultural understanding.
“Most families don’t need more investments. They need more conversations, guided by structure and empathy,” he said.
