Liquor baron, Vijay Mallya, is called the billionaire who vanished from India. He has found himself in a Rs. 9000 crore loan default scam that dampened the Indian economy. He was called ‘Chor hai paisa loot Ke bhag gaya’ after he took many loans from banks to expand his Kingfisher and liquor business, but did not pay them back, reportedly. Vijay’s father, late, Vittal Mallya, had achieved immense success in the business and made his name by creating a big empire with a focus on the alcohol industry.
Vittal was known for his sharp business skills and led Kissan, Cadbury, Berger Paints, Hindustan Polymers, Mangalore Fertilisers, British Paints and Mysore Electro-Chemical Works. However, do you know that Vittal had created a huge impact on the mind of Vijay since his childhood? Both Vittal and Vijay’s school and education had taken place in Calcutta, and Vijay, after nine years, recently spoke about his bond with his late dad, Vittal, his strictness, the differences that the father, son had and how Vittal was known to be a frugal spender.
