    John Shaw, husband of Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, passes away at 73
    John Shaw was an economic graduate from the University of Glasgow, UK

    John Shaw, Biocon founder and executive chairperson Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw's husband, passed away on Monday morning. He was 73. "It is a very sad day for Kiran and for the entire Biocon family," a senior company official told The Hindu. Shaw—who was the vice-chairman and non-executive director at the Indian drug-making company—was reportedly cremated at Bengaluru's Wilson Garden Crematorium at 4:00 pm on Monday.

    Shaw was undergoing treatment for cancer

    Shaw and Kiran got married in 1998, and they have always been sources of support for one another. Shaw, who was born in 1949 in Scotland, had been undergoing treatment for cancer for some time, but he was reportedly fine until a few weeks ago. To recall, Kiran had lost her mother, Yamini Mazumdar—who was also an entrepreneur—to cancer in June this year.

    More details about John Shaw

    Shaw reportedly had an MA in Economics (Honours) and an honorary doctorate from the University of Glasgow, UK. Shaw—who was a member of the board of directors at Biocon since 1999—had served as its foreign promoter and was on several Biocon group firms' advisory boards. He was also a former chairman of Madura Coats and former finance and managing director of Coats Viyella Group.
