Pallonji Mistry was the richest person in Ireland and the chairman of Shapoorji Pallonji Group.

The 93-year-old Indian-Irish business tycoon, Pallonji Mistry, head of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group, passed away late on Monday night at his home in Mumbai. Popularly known as the Phantom of Bombay House, he died in mid-sleep on an intervening night on Monday and Tuesday. He is survived by his wife and four children, two daughters and two sons.

Pallonji Mistry was the richest person in Ireland and the chairman of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, his wealth is estimated to be US $28.0 billion as of April 9, 2021.

The third-highest civilian award in India, the Padma Bhushan, was given to Pallonji in 2016 for his contributions to real estate, textiles, power, shipping, publishing, and other industries.

How Pallonji Mistry was related to Ratan Tata?

Mistry’s father, Shapoorji Pallonji, invested in Tata Sons for the first time in the 1930s, and today, with a stake of 18.4%, he is the company’s largest individual shareholder. Tata Sons is principally owned by the charitable Tata Trusts.

Cyrus Mistry, his younger son, served as the Tata Sons’ chairman from 2012 to 2016. He was fired over a dispute that turned into one of the most fiercely disputed corporate battles in India in recent times.

The Mistry Group, however, intended to sell their shares in September 2020, after Cyrus was ousted. When Cyrus was removed as the chairman of the Tata Group in 2016, the conflict between the SP Group and the Tata Group escalated into one of the biggest corporate showdowns in India’s history.

The SP Group, which was established in 1865, is responsible for the construction of several famous structures in Mumbai, such as the Reserve Bank of India and the Taj Mahal Palace hotel complex.

The business tycoon assisted in the expansion of the SP Group into the Middle Eastern nations in 1970, notably Abu Dhabi, Qatar, and Dubai. The Sultan of Oman’s palace was the first foreign project the company won in 1971, which was completed in 1976.

Following this, the business constructed numerous ministerial structures in the region. Under his leadership, the business expanded into a conglomerate that included services for real estate, water, energy, construction, and finance.

The organization offers end-to-end solutions in 50 countries with a team of over 50,000 people.

Google restores delisted Indian apps after government intervention

Google on Saturday restored all Indian apps it had removed.

Published

Google has started to restore all the delisted Indian mobile apps on Play Store agian, which they had removed due to a disagreement over service fees. After a discussion between company representatives and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, the decision was made, according to sources.

The step was taken in response to Vaishnaw’s strong statement in which he said that it is not allowed for apps to be removed from the Google Play Store. The minister had said, India is very clear, our policy is very clear…our startups will get the protection that they need.

Vaishnaw  continued saying that he has already given Google a call. They will be speaking with the app developers who were delisted this week. This is not acceptable. The minister said this kind of delisting cannot be permitted.

Ten Indian companies’ apps were banned by Google on Friday, causing outrage in one of its fastest-growing markets. With 94% of phones running on its Android platform, Google holds a large portion of the Indian market. Popular names like Naukri and Bharatmatrimony were on the list.

The main point of contention is Google’s in-app purchase fees, which range from 11% to 26%. Indian startups have long opposed the US tech giant’s actions, believing them to be unfair.

The founder of Bharat Matrimony, Christian Matrimony, Muslim Matrimony, and Jodii, Matrimony.com, expressed shock at the matchmaking apps’ removal from the Google Play Store.

Shaadi. Com CEO Anupam Mittal described it as a dark day for India’s internet, highlighting the possible broad effects on matchmaking services. He also called Google an evil.

While, Kuku FM Co-founder Vinod Kumar Meena in a statement had said that Google was behaving like a monopoly.

Meanwhile, Google temporarily withdrew the famous Indian payments app Paytm from the Play Store in 2020, claiming a few policy infractions. Due to this decision, the founder of the company as well as the larger startup community came together to build their own app stores and file lawsuits against Google.
