Hey I am on Medial • 4d

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 Martinière Calcutta and St. Xavier's College - elite institutions. While other students worried about careers, Vijay interned in family businesses with guaranteed succession waiting. "Business empire builder" sounds impressive. Reality? Inherited ready-made conglomerate worth billions at age 28 when father died. Most entrepreneurs struggle to raise initial capital - Vijay inherited India's largest liquor empire. They call him "King of Good Times." And he did inherit his throne. The Three-Generation Tycoon didn't build an empire he inherited one and then squandered it.

In that podcast, when Vijay Mallya said he offered to settle and the banks rejected it, let’s be honest the banks did the right thing. He was offering just ₹2,000 crore against ₹9,000 crore in loans. And the final offer? It came in 2015, way after th

What happens when the “King of Good Times” finally tells his side? I sat through 4 hours of the Raj Shamani x Vijay Mallya podcast—and it wasn’t what I expected. Not a full defense. But raw honesty. He said sorry. He said the banks refused to settl
