Udyog Vihar Phase 4, Gurugram — in-office
ABOUT US
Marken Capital is the single-family office of the C.P. Gurnani family. It operates as a sub entity within the family’s operating business - Assago Group. We allocate capital across public markets, private companies and external managers, and hold responsibility for the family's wider affairs spanning cross-border structuring, group company oversight, real estate, trusts and succession planning.
THE ROLE
This role anchors the operational and compliance function of the family office. This includes cross-border filings, entity administration, portfolio data integrity, and the working relationships with the banks, advisors and fund managers the office depends on.
The role entails strategic alignment with family goals: reading across tax, international compliance, trust and LLP structuring, and banking relationships to keep the office ahead of its own deadlines, not just reacting to them.
This is a senior, largely autonomous mandate. Family office operations experience is preferred but not mandatory. On-the-job learning is expected specifically for ODI/OPI and other family-office-specific processes.

Stakeholder management
The role coordinates a wide external network — private bankers, custodians, wealth advisors, execution partners, Big Four advisors, the family CA, offshore corporate secretaries, fund managers and trustees. Keeping these parties aligned and to timetable is a substantial and continuous part of the work.
