Hypothetically Speaking

If I were to move to Goa and open a Microbrewery, would Vijay Mallya come and break my legs?

Only if the operation got too successful & cut into his KF profits ..... and then you got a little cocky and refused his generous buyout offer. snap, crackle pop!

If you brand it "Kingpisser" you will have a great marketing advantage in rural India.

The main problem you will face is getting the required permission, clearances etc. from the authorities. The established players in the liquor industry in India have a vice like grip on the market mainly because of their close relationship with the various ministers and bureaucrats. Even big multinational companies have found the going difficult because the home team changes the rules as and when they please.
