Vijay Mallya wasn't a self-made business tycoon. He was born into three generations of wealth and elite privilege. Grandfather was Lt. Col. Bantwal Ganapathi Mallya - army officer whose "wealth and position" sent father Vittal to The Doon School, India's equivalent of Eton. Father Vittal built massive business empire spanning 60+ companies including United Breweries, McDowell, Kissan, and Cadbury. Vijay attended La MartiniĆØre Calcutta and St. Xavier's College - elite institutions.
