He used to work for his uncle. Now he runs India’s largest domestic airline — and is aiming even higher,” an article in The Guardian had written about Naresh Goyal in 2006.
That year, The Sunday Times had ranked him the sixth richest Asian man in Britain. At 57, Goyal was then living in his sprawling townhouse with views across Regent’s Park in north-west London. He has lived there since 1991.
