Consider the option to support the Telerik/Kendo hierarchical grids or grid grouping through separate component templates.
For example,
https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/hierarchy
https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/grid/grouping/basics/
The hierarchical grids are visualized with a master row similar to the Grouping Row template. However, it is currently impossible to directly style the hierarchical master row.
Example for grid groups
