One of the most popular franchises in the tournament was bought by renowned businessman Vijay Mallya in 2008. At that time, he was quite a success in his two key businesses, alcoholic beverages company United Spirits and Kingfisher Airlines.

Unfortunately, Vijay Mallya failed to pay the debt, which he used to expand Kingfisher Airlines, and thereby was involved in a major scam. Ahead of IPL 2016, Vijay Mallya resigned from the post of chairman of United Spirits, with the parent company Diageo India paying him INR 550 crores.

At present, RCB is owned by United Spirits Limited, which has the largest market share in terms of alcoholic beverages. The senior executive, Prathmesh Mishra is the chairman of Royal Challengers Bangalore currently.
