After Siddhartha went missing, a massive manhunt was launched to try and find the man – hopefully alive, but likely dead. The family’s worst fears were confirmed when the body was found washed up on the bank of River Netravati by some fishermen early this morning.
Siddhartha started out as a management trainee, went on to launch a stockbroking business and then moved to coffee. He owned 12,000 acres of coffee plantations and his company was India's largest exporter of green coffee. He set up the first Café Coffee Day in Bangalore in 1996 and today, there are reportedly about 1,550 outlets in over 200 cities of India attracting about 50,000 customers each week. Siddhartha also had business interests in the IT sector.
