Uday Kotak, founder of Kotak Mahindra Bank and currently its Non-Executive Chairman, triggered intense debate across financial and social circles yesterday when images surfaced of him gifting his wife Pallavi Kotak a custom Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended “Scintilla” — reportedly the first such one-off configuration delivered in India. The handover occurred on 12 February 2026 at the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Mumbai dealership in Worli, followed by a private family celebration at their Bandra residence.
