About Me

Nusli Wadia is chairman of the Wadia Group, a cookies-to-textiles empire with roots in shipbuilding dating back to 1736. Group companies include Britannia Industries and home textiles company Bombay Dyeing. His loss-making budget airline, Go First, declared bankruptcy in 2023. Wadia is often referred to as a corporate samurai by the Indian press for waging numerous legal battles. One notable battle was against the Tata Group and his former pal Ratan Tata, who got him ousted from the boards of three Tata firms in 2016.
