Lesser Known Facts: Ajay Singh, whose father and mother hailed from Alwar and Meerut respectively, spent most of his childhood in Delhis Maharani Bagh area., During his school days, Singh was an avid sportsperson. Perhaps a born leader, he was the captain of his schools Cricket and Hockey teams. In addition, he even represented his school in various Football tournaments., Interestingly, actor Shah Rukh Khan, who was a batch junior to Singh at St. Columbas School, was the wicket-keeper of their schools cricket team., While at the Cornwell University, he served as the president of the universitys India Association., After completing his MBA, Singh came back to India and joined his familys business of real estate and fashion accessories., In 1996, he was appointed to serve on the board of Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) by the then transport minister of Delhi, Rajendra Gupta. Under Singhs guidance, DTCs fleet of 300 buses rose to around 6,000 in just 2 years., When Pramod Mahajan took charge as the Information and Broadcasting (IB) Minister in 1998, he appointed Singhhis officer on special duty (OSD), and gave him the responsibility of transforming and revamping Doordarshan. Under his tenure as the OSD, Doordarshan launched two new channels- DD Sports and DD News., Mahajan was so impressed by his performance that when he made a transition to the Telecom ministry, he took Singh along with him., Singh, along with Bhupendra Kansagra, then acquired and renamed grounded ModiLuft Airlines to SpiceJet. Notably,SpiceJet sold 38,000 tickets on its first day of operation and had a load factor of over 90%., When Singh bid adieu to SpiceJet in 2010, the airline had over INR 800 crore in the bank., Kalanithi Maran, Sun Groups Chairman and Managing Director, then took control over the airlines ownership. However, Maran failed miserably in controlling the companys expenses, thus forcing the company into huge debts by the end of 2015. Nonetheless, Singh came back into the scenario and bought Marans majority shares., A report that came to light in 2017 stated that Singh had re-acquired the company from Maran by paying just INR 2. This transaction perhaps marks thelowest amount at which a listed company has ever been taken over in India., Not many people know that the slogan, Abki Baar Modi Sarkaar, which took the entire nation by storm during the 2014 Lok Sabha Elections, was coined by him., Singh bought Daewoo MotorsIndia Ltd. in 2010; however, this time he failed to revive a debt-ridden company., As an angelinvestor, he reportedly has stakes in a nanotechnology company in Bangalore and an IT company in Mumbai. In addition, he has also made investments in a real estate company, which builds luxury apartments in central Delhi., Also, multiple reports suggest that he is in a public-private partnership with the Delhi government for operating low-floor buses.
