NEW DELHI: Hinting at his succession plan, UB Group Chairman Vijay Mallya has said he will bring his son Siddhartha into the business in a couple of years.
"...like all my businesses, I have a road map for him (Siddhartha) as well. By the time he is 24, I will bring him back here to start off the business," UB Group Chairman Vijay Mallya said in an interview to a news channel.
He said his son is currently working with Diageo and he intends to send him to work for Whyte & Mackay to gain international exposure before bringing him back to India.
"My intention is to put him next in Whyte & Mackay in UK to gain some international exposure. Then he is coming back... by the time he is 24, I will bring him back," Mallya said.
He said there was a similar road map for himself planned by his dad.
"... that is the best thing that my dad did for me, so I am doing it for Siddhartha as well," Mallya added.
