Feisty fighter Nusli Wadia

April 17, 2009

Ask Groupe Danone SA.

The French dairy major had at one stage wanted to fight Wadia over control of Britannia Industries.

The simmering tension came to the fore when Danone decided to acquire a stake in Avasthagen, a Bangalore-based neutraceutical firm, without Wadia’s consent in 2007.

Next came the French firm's alleged move to register Tiger (Britannia's popular biscuit brand) in 70 countries -- again without its Indian partner's consent.
