Soult Hosts Leadership Forum in Bengaluru to Address India’s Rs 72,000 Crore Unclaimed Assets and Legacy Readiness

August 5, 2026

Digital life vault provider Soult is organizing a leadership event, ‘Soult Dialogues: Legacy Readiness – Protecting What Matters,’ on August 6, 2026, at the JW Marriott Bengaluru. The forum aims to bring legacy planning into workplace discussions on employee wellbeing.

What Happened

The leadership gathering brings together corporate executives, human resource managers, legal advisors, and financial experts to discuss legacy preparedness. Data highlights that India has over Rs 72,000 crore in dormant bank accounts, insurance proceeds, equities, and mutual funds. These assets remain unclaimed largely because of missing documentation, outdated beneficiary nominations, and a lack of awareness among family members.

Why This Matters

While organizations frequently invest in physical, mental, and financial wellbeing initiatives, legacy readiness is often omitted from corporate policies. The inability to access essential digital and legal records after a loss often leads families into financial loss, prolonged legal disagreements, and emotional hardship.

What to Watch Next

Participation in the forum is by invitation only, with registration open through an official online portal. Organizers aim to spark broader boardroom discussions on integrating legacy readiness into corporate benefit frameworks.
