Vijay Mallya calls 'ease of doing business' a myth in India, says extreme rules are rooted in Indian DNA, regardless of who is in power

Fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya, currently in the UK and facing extradition, has criticised India’s business environment, calling it heavily bureaucratic and politically influenced. Speaking on Raj Shamani’s podcast Figuring Out, Mallya said, “There is no ease of doing business in India. It’s in the Indian DNA. No matter what a state or federal government may say, there are bureaucratic and political hurdles all along the way.”
