In this episode, we talk to Vijay Mallya once known as the King of Good Times. He opens up about the rise of Kingfisher, the fall that followed, and the personal cost of building an empire that couldn’t survive.

We explore how his larger-than-life image was built, how flamboyance became a business strategy, and why his father’s legacy shaped every move he made. From airlines and IPL to Formula 1 and luxury lifestyles, Mallya reflects on the choices that defined him.

He shares why he believes business failure is seen as fraud in India, why he regrets starting Kingfisher Airlines, and how the media shaped public opinion against him. He also talks about repaying more than he borrowed, the pain of letting go, and the long silence he’s finally breaking.

In the final segment, he addresses the question everyone’s been asking will he return to India? And in the end, was he a showman, a businessman, or simply misunderstood?
