    Hello @Tamilselvi Premchandiran

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & hope you are doing well. 

    I see that you've already set up several Groups for your business and are now interested in creating a parent Group that would include these child Groups.

    FYI, you'll need either the Groups Administrator or User Administrator role to create groups.

    To create a Parent Group and add Child Groups in Microsoft Entra, follow these steps:

    1. Visit https://entra.microsoft.com/#home
    2. In Entra ID, navigate to the Groups Blade.
    3. Select “+ New Group”.
    4. Pick a Group Type, such as “Security” or “Microsoft 365”. Note: Nested group membership is supported only in Security groups, not in Microsoft 365 groups. Also, ensure that your tenant settings allow nested groups.
    5. Enter the group name and description.User's image
    6. Click om No members selected as shown in the above screenshot.
    7. It will open a Add Members dialog box. Select Group section on the top.User's image
    8. Next, locate your Groups (Child Group) and choose the ones you need.
    9. Click "Create" .

    By following these steps, you'll set up a Parent Group that includes the selected Child Groups as members.

    Please also refer to this documentation. - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/fundamentals/quickstart-create-group-add-members
