Meet Shah Rukh Khan’s close aide who manages KKR and Red Chillies Entertainments, he is…, his net worth is…

He is also the managing director of KKR.

Success story: It is not without reason that Shah Rukh Khan is labelled as the King of Bollywood. He has created a legacy of himself, a brand that stands apart. After making it big in the film industry, SRK turned his attention to other ventures like Red Chillies Entertainments Private Limited which he established in 2002.

Apart from that, he bought Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), one of the T20 franchise cricket team representing the city of Kolkata in the Indian Premier League (IPL). KKR has lifted the IPL trophy in 2012, 2014, and 2024.

In a cricket crazy country, this proved to be a very smart move as KKR have carved out a name and place for themselves. Since Shah Rukh cannot manage his IPL team KKR throughout the year, he has given this responsibility to Venky Mysore, who manages the team’s financial and operational tasks.

The man behind KKR’s corporate success, Venky Mysore, is the CEO of KKR and Red Chillies Entertainment.

Venky is also the managing director of KKR and was instrumental behind Kolkata Knight Riders buying the Caribbean Premier League team Trinbago Knight Riders.

Venky Mysore belongs to Mysore, Karnataka. He aspired to play cricket for India. As his chance did not come, he chose to pursue an MBA. This helped him in learning the nuances of business and management which showed in his stint with KKR.

Mysore has an experience of over 25 years working in the insurance industry, including experience in North America and in establishing operations in Asia. He was a non-executive and non-independent director of Gujarat Sidhee Cement Ltd and a director at Birla Sun Life Insurance Company Limited, independent non-executive director at Oberoi Realty Limited and director of Birla Sun Life Asset Management Company Limited.

He is married to Veena and they have three children. His net worth is reported to be around Rs 14 crore and under him, KKR’s net worth of $1.1 billion and revenue of $41.2 million.
