United Spirits LLC, based in Jersey City, NJ, is a subsidiary of the UB Group, a renowned conglomerate with operations in various industries. With a rich history dating back to the 19th century, the company has grown to become a global market leader in the alcoholic beverage industry, particularly in India, where it holds over 40% of the market share. Known for its iconic brand Kingfisher, United Spirits LLC also owns distilleries, bottling plants, and has diversified its investments in emerging digital properties.
However, the company has faced legal troubles and debts, with its chairman, Vijay Mallya, fleeing India to avoid prosecution for failing to repay over $1 billion in loans from Indian banks. Currently residing in the UK, Mallya's actions have led to investigations by Indian authorities and mounting evidence of money laundering. Despite these challenges, United Spirits LLC continues to be a prominent player in the global alcoholic beverage industry.
