Vijay Mallya is not just the story of a billionaire. It is the story of a man who built an empire, lived like royalty, and became one of India's most talked-about fugitives.
From boardrooms to parliament, from Kingfisher's glamour to courtroom battles, this book traces the rise, collapse, and escape of a tycoon whose name became synonymous with ambition, excess, and controversy.
Inside this book, you will discover:
How Vijay Mallya built a powerful business identity that made him one of India's most recognizable corporate figures.
The rise of Kingfisher Airlines and the bold vision that turned it into a symbol of luxury.
The financial crisis, legal disputes, and public outrage that followed the collapse.
The allegations, investigations, and courtroom battles that transformed his reputation.
The political influence, image-making, and larger-than-life persona that made his story impossible to ignore.
This is a gripping, deeply researched account of power, privilege, ambition, and downfall. It is not only about a businessman who lost control of his empire, but also about how image, influence, and institutional failure can collide in modern India.
If you are drawn to true stories of corporate drama, high-stakes scandal, and real-life figures whose rise and fall read like fiction, this book will keep you turning the pages.
Vijay Mallya: The Fugitive Billionaire is a compelling portrait of one of India's most infamous tycoons and the storm that followed him.
Through his rare and extensive conversation with Raj Shamani, Vijay Mallya presents his own version of the Kingfisher collapse, the loan controversy, and the events that forced him out of India.Also from
