- Vijay Mallya (Kannada) born December 18, 1955. He is an Indian
businessman and Rajya Sabha MP. The son of industrialist Vittal
Mallya, he is the Chairman of the United Breweries Group and Kingfisher
Airlines, which draws its name from United Breweries Group's flagship
beer brand, Kingfisher.
- In 2007 Mallya was ranked as the 664th richest person in the
world with a net fortune of $1.5 billion.[1] He receives substantial
press coverage that focuses on his lavish parties and his yacht,
the Indian Empress
- Mallya was educated at La Martiniere Boys' College in Kolkata
and Calcutta University. He entered politics in 2000 and superseded
Subramaniam Swamy as the president of the Janata Party, a breakaway
faction of the original Janata Dal party. His party contested
almost all of the 224 seats during the Karnataka State legislative
election. He campaigned vigorously through the media, but his
party failed to make any impact and did not win a single seat.
Following the party's failure in the elections, it has been largely
ignored by the media.
