Who was Atulya Mafatlal?
Atulya Mafatlal was a celebrated businessman in Mumbai and was a significant part of the Yogindra Mafatlal group. He had been married twice - his first wife was Payal Girdharlal and his second, was socialite Sheetal Bhagat.
Atulya had been embroiled in a lot of legal disputes, most of them involving his family. His legal disputes were surrounding his marital problems, issues with siblings, property, and some involving missing jewelry.
He was an integral part of the Yogindra Mafatlal group, which specializes in chemical production, textiles, and dyestuffs. After the death of the group patriarch Yogindra Mafatlal, many family disputes erupted within the company.
In the midst of differences, the Mafatlal house was split into two with one section occupied by Atulya and his family, and the other section occupied by his brother Ajay, their mother, and Atulya's children from his previous marriage.
