Santhosh R, CFP®
Founder & Principal Advisor, Privé One Family Office
With over a decade of experience in strategic advisory, client relationship management, and consulting — spanning both corporate companies and independent consulting within family offices — Santhosh founded Privé One Family Office with a vision to bring institutional-quality family office advisory to entrepreneurial families and ultra-high-net-worth individuals in India.
He believes that the true value of a family office lies not in managing products, but in aligning people, governance, and trusted expertise around a family's long-term vision. His approach combines independent thinking, disciplined execution, and a commitment to building enduring relationships founded on trust, confidentiality, and stewardship.

Santhosh holds a Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Computer Science), a Master's in Business Administration (MBA) specializing in International Trade Management, and is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER (CFP®), accredited by the Financial Planning Standards Board (FPSB), USA. This is complemented by over a decade of experience in strategic advisory, client relationship management, and consulting — across corporate companies and independent consulting — within family office practices.
