Spotlight Summary Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has added yet another feather to his business cap. His family office is now a part of a $1-billion co-investment by Mumbai-based Ashika Group to become a part of 28 other family offices in a strategic financial venture in stock broking, alternative investments, and emerging banking services.

Investment Highlights

SRK's family office has invested alongside 28 other family offices on average, with each investing approximately $35 million

It appears that the investment is managed by Ashika Group, a proprietary investment firm with growing presence in financial services.

Ashika's fair 1% profit rate is significantly less than that levied by traditional hedge funds and portfolio managers

Portfolio Power Moves

SRK's investment kitty already includes Red Chillies Entertainment, Dreamz Unlimited, and IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders

He is an investor in KidZania, real estate businesses like Sri Lotus Developers, and tech startups like Mythik and Numi

His recent activity implies a preference for high-growth, diversified investments in finance, real estate, and media

Lifestyle and Logistics

Since his sea-facing bungalow Mannat, his showpiece one, is being renovated, SRK has rented four floors in Bandra's Puja Casa for 36 months

His real estate business extends as far as Dubai, London, the US, and Alibaug, solidifying his international presence

Strategic Takeaway This co-investment is a sign of SRK's maturation from movie icon to savvy investor. By partnering with Ashika Group, he's not just diversifying his fortune—he's rewriting the narrative of celebrity capital in Indian finance.
