Diageo weighs RCB stake sale as IPL hits $2 bn valuation, ad norms tighten
British spirits giant Diageo Plc is exploring the possibility of selling part or all of its stake in the Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket franchise Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Bloomberg reported on Tuesday. The company, which holds the team through its Indian subsidiary United Spirits Ltd, is in early discussions with potential advisers. While no final decision has been made, the franchise could be valued at up to $2 billion. Diageo and United Spirits have not issued any public statements regarding the potential divestment. Health Ministry urges tighter ad rules on IPL ads The move comes as Diageo faces mounting regulatory pressure from the Union Health Ministry to curb indirect advertising of alcohol during major sporting events like the IPL. The company has historically leveraged soda and non-alcoholic brand extensions to maintain visibility under existing restrictions, a strategy that could soon be curtailed under stricter advertising norms. Valuation soars with RCB's commercial rise RCB, one of the original teams in the IPL) was first owned by liquor tycoon Vijay Mallya. The team later came under the control of Diageo after it took over Mallya's beleaguered spirits empire. RCB recently won its first IPL title, a major milestone that has boosted its visibility and commercial appeal. With Virat Kohli - one of the most followed athletes globally - in its ranks, RCB commands enormous market appeal, particularly across digital platforms. The potential sale comes as IPL franchise values continue to soar, thanks to the league's rapid commercial growth, bringing it on par with the NFL and English Premier League in terms of global influence and ad revenue. For Diageo, the timing may be strategic. The company is witnessing a decline in premium liquor sales in its largest market, the United States, and broader global cost pressures. Selling RCB, a non-core part of its business, could free up funds and help Diageo focus on its main operations. Health Ministry pushes to ban surrogate promotions of alcohol, tobacco The backdrop to this development includes a recent push by India's Union Health Ministry to ban all forms of alcohol and tobacco advertising, including surrogate promotions, during IPL broadcasts and related events. In March, the ministry wrote to IPL Chairperson Arun Singh Dhumal, urging a complete prohibition on such advertisements across all platforms, including television, stadiums, and affiliated venues. 'The Indian Premier League (IPL), being India's most viewed sporting event, sends a contradictory message to the public about health and fitness when it allows the direct or indirect promotion of tobacco and alcohol,' the ministry had said in a statement. The ministry also called for a ban on the sale of tobacco and alcohol products at all IPL-related events and sports facilities.

At the ABP Smart Education Summit 2025 held in New Delhi, IIHM was presented with the 'Excellence in Global Hospitality Education' award by Union Education Minister Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, recognising the institute's pioneering contribution to global-standard hospitality education and transformative technological integration. During the ceremony, Minister Pradhan lauded IIHM for redefining hospitality education in India by "building global pathways from Indian classrooms," and credited the institution with contributing to India's growing soft power in service leadership and innovation.

It strengthens our resolve to position India as the global epicentre of hospitality learning." AI + Hospitality: A Revolution Led by India Dr Bose has been at the forefront of driving the global conversation on Artificial Intelligence in hospitality and tourism. In 2024, his groundbreaking book, 'Harmonizing Human Touch and AI in Tourism & Hospitality,' was launched by Union Minister for Tourism, Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, at the Bharat 24 Summit in Goa. Minister Shekhawat saw the book as a visionary roadmap that places India on the frontlines of intelligent hospitality and credited it for "offering a model for the ethical and strategic integration of AI in a people-first industry." The book has since become a reference point for both academic institutions and hospitality enterprises exploring AI in operations, personalisation, guest experience, and workforce transformation. Global Hospitality Joins Hands: 60 Countries Sign the Knowledge Sharing Declaration In an unprecedented global initiative, IIHM led the creation and signing of the Global Knowledge Sharing Declaration on AI in Hospitality Education, bringing together educational institutions, thought leaders, and policymakers from over 60 countries. This declaration envisions a collaborative global framework to share curricula, research, practices, and AI innovations that can uplift hospitality education equitably across developed and developing economies. It promotes chain-agnostic, brand-neutral learning with a focus on inclusivity, accessibility, and AI literacy for students and professionals alike. The initiative underscores IIHM's status as a convening power in global hospitality education, capable of bridging continents through technology, pedagogy, and purpose. NamAIste - The World's First Hospitality GPT is Made in India In February 2025, Dr Bose and IIHM made headlines globally with the launch of NamAIste - IIHM Hospitality GPT, the world's first generative AI-powered knowledge engine for the hospitality industry.

NamAIste is India's first domain-specific Large Language Model (LLM) designed exclusively for hospitality operations, learning, research, and innovation. Dr Bose has called NamAIste "India's gift to the global hospitality world - made in India, made for the world." This latest national recognition by the Union Education Ministry further strengthens IIHM's mission to shape the next generation of global hospitality leaders through transformative education, global collaboration, and ethical AI innovation.
