Bira 91 Founder Steps Down as Investors Seek Buyers for His Stake
Bira 91 founder Ankur Jain and his family have stepped down from B9 Beverages after settling disputes with lenders and investors. The settlement ends ongoing litigation and releases Jain from personal loan guarantees. The company's board and investors, led by Anicut Capital, are seeking buyers for Jain's 17.8% stake, engaging family offices and corporates. Reviving operations may require around ₹500 crore, contingent on resolving liabilities and legal issues affecting the company’s financial health.
