# TVS family feud: Singhvi defends Venu Srinivasan’s position 2026-11-06T19:36:57+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Congress leader and jurist Abhishek Manu Singhvi, representing TVS Group patriarch Venu Srinivasan, has described the family and business dispute engulfing the corporate house in an exclusive interview with Times Now. The feud involves Venu Srinivasan, his wife Mallika, son Sudarshan and daughter Lakshmi. ThePrint reports that the dispute highlights a growing trend of acrimonious battles between husbands and wives in Indian family businesses, citing recent cases involving the Singhanias, Kapurs and Vembus. Mallika Srinivasan, chairperson of TAFE and the PESB, and daughter Lakshmi are aligned against Venu, while son Sudarshan supports his father. Experts quoted by ThePrint attribute the rise to greater financial awareness among women and changing social norms around marriage. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Times Now's interview with Singhvi provides the patriarch's legal perspective, while ThePrint contextualises the feud within a broader societal shift towards spousal business battles, naming past cases and quoting academics and lawyers. Neither source presents Mallika or Lakshmi's direct account. The two outlets cover the same dispute from different angles: one as a family fight with a named counsel, the other as a trend piece on corporate governance and gender. The common ground is that the TVS group feud, involving two powerful women and a prominent industrialist, is now public and contested. ThePrint identifies no next legal or business step, leaving the resolution open. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - timesnownews.com (neutral report) Leads with Singhvi's exclusive defence of Venu, no critical framing of either side. - theprint.in (neutral report) Contextualises feud as a trend, quotes experts without taking a side in the dispute.
