Amitabh Bachchan Corporation (formerly Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited ABCL) or AB CORP is an Indian entertainment company which is owned by Amitabh Bachchan. It was founded in 1995, it did event-management, film production and distribution work. During 1999 it emerged as fiasco for Bachchan when it went into bankruptcy bringing heavy financial losses to its owner.[2] The company organised the Miss World 1996 competition.
The company specialized in film production and event management. The business was plagued by financial difficulties. The main reason for the bad performance of ABCL was blamed on the gross mismanagement of the company by the, then CEO, Sanjiv Gupta, who went on to become the CEO of Coca-Cola India.[3][4]
The company burst into the limelight in 1997 when it was responsible for bringing to India the Miss World Pageant, but was then mired with controversy when the company was not able to pay its dues.[5][6]
Dekh Bhai Dekh a Hindi sitcom was directed by Anand Mahendru, produced by Jaya Bachchan (via ABCL) and starring Sushma Seth, Navin Nischol, Amar Upadhyay and Shekhar Suman in lead roles.
