The Indian billionaire ran RARE Enterprises, a privately held stock trading firm. He was also the owner of Akasa Air, India's newest airline, which took to the skies earlier this month.
Many people questioned why he planned to start an airline at a time when aviation was struggling, to which he responded, "I say I'm prepared for failure."
