Infosys Co-Founder Narayana Murthy’s Lavish Purchase: A Luxury Rs 50 Crore Bengaluru Apartment, But What’s the Connection to Vijay Mallya?

Narayana Murthy, the co-founder of Infosys, has purchased a luxury apartment in Bengaluru’s Kingfisher Towers for Rs 50 crore (approximately $67 million). The 8,400 sq ft apartment is reportedly the priciest residential deal in Bengaluru. This is not his first foray into luxury real estate, as he had previously purchased a flat in the same building. Interestingly, Kingfisher Towers is also the same complex where Vijay Mallya, the businessman and former owner of Kingfisher Airlines, owns an apartment. This raises questions about the connection between the two business tycoons, as Mallya’s airline went bankrupt, and there were allegations of defaults on loans and personal financial mismanagement. There is no direct evidence linking the two, but it may suggest a level of mutual connections or interests in the business and real estate sectors. The exact details of the deal remain unclear, but it further solidifies Murthy’s position as one of India’s most successful and wealthy entrepreneurs.
