All those who knew Vittal Mallya remember him for his simplicity. And his excellent acumen of accounting, a trait which helped the Dhaka-born Mallya invest heavily in shares of the United Breweries in the late 40s with an eye on its eventual acquisition. Old-timers fondly recall how he remembered his son's losing one paise while playing and registered the amount against his account.
Till his death in 1983, Mallya remained the idol of millions who adored him for his tenacity in understanding people both rich and poor. The current UB headquarters is located on Vittal Mallya Road in Bangalore, fondly named after one of its illustrious leaders.
will add this section later. But it is NPOV
I replaced the external link to the essay written by Vittal Mallya's son with one that's a bit more encyclopedic. I didn't flag this article as having NPOV issues, as I hope that will be addressed in the cleanup, but it is borderline right now. Kathy A. 14:47, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
