The emergence of Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City) and its International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) has provided a financial architecture for this movement. As of November 30, 2025, more than 1,034 domestic and international entities are registered at GIFT IFSC, according to Economic Survey 2026. This includes banks, fund managers, insurers and fintech firms, underscoring how quickly the centre has evolved into a credible conduit for cross-border capital. Approximately 40% of Indian family offices are actively aiming to set up operations in GIFT City. The International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) framework allows these families to create tax-efficient, India-centric compliance structures for outbound global deployment as well as inbound repatriation.
