✈️Rakesh Gangwal: Navigating the Skies - Co-founder's Journey with IndiGo✈️ Rakesh Gangwal, born on March 2, 1953, is an Indian-American entrepreneur and aviation industry veteran. As the co-founder of IndiGo, India's largest airline by market share, Gangwal has played a pivotal role in shaping the country's aviation landscape. Gangwal's journey in the airline industry began after earning an MBA from Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. With a wealth of experience, including positions at United Airlines and US Airways, he brought extensive knowledge to the table when he co-founded IndiGo in 2005 with fellow entrepreneur Rahul Bhatia. Under Gangwal's leadership, IndiGo quickly rose to prominence, known for its punctuality, efficiency, and low-cost model. The airline's success can be attributed to Gangwal's strategic vision and commitment to operational excellence. However, Gangwal's tenure at IndiGo was not without challenges. In 2019, a public dispute between Gangwal and co-founder Rahul Bhatia became headline news, raising concerns within the aviation industry. Despite the internal disagreements, IndiGo continued to thrive, maintaining its status as a leading player in the Indian aviation sector. Rakesh Gangwal's impact on the aviation industry extends beyond IndiGo, as he has been recognized for his contributions and insights into the global airline business. His biography reflects a journey marked by success, innovation, and the complexities inherent in the dynamic world of aviation. #indigoairlines #airlines #aeroplane #flight #journey #business #hardwork #indianeconomy #indianeconomy

Just finished 'Sky High', a history of Indigo Airlines, by Tarun Shukla - it is a a breezy read, covering the origin story and growth of India's biggest airline, which has 60% of the market, flying 360 airplanes (of a total of 800 planes in India) and a market cap of $19b which is the 3rd highest globally after Ryanair and Delta. The book gives you a deeper look into the decisions and operational approach that led to its dominance. Much of this was devised and led by Rakesh Gangwal, the experienced US airline CEO, and Indigo's cofounder / promoter, who negotiated the 100-order deal from Airbus at an outrageously low price and then structured the sale + lease-back arrangement which was the source of its profits for a long while. Gangwal along with the other cofounder and now sole promoter Rahul Bhatia, set in place an intensely frugal and operationalliy-focused culture, with a ruthless focus on saving of costs and turnaround of planes, so they could get more flying time in the air. This combined with Rahul Bhatia's astute lobbying and commercial instinct helped Indigo overcome on-ground challenges, and get regulatory clearances. It was a winning combination, and helped Indigo grow to become the behemoth it is. Bhatia is now the 'promoter' in control, after Gangwal decided to exit Indigo after a bruising fight with Bhatia. Lots of anecdotes and behind the scenes stories abound in the book, written by one of India's leading aviation reporters. I wish it was better edited, but that is a small quibble given that it perhaps wasn't as easy a book to write given that the Indigo promoters are very secretive. I thought the book was a good illustration of a well-planned and well-executed strategy. It is also about what really separates a successful airline from an also-ran. One element clearly is intense operational or process excellence, doing all the hundreds of little things in time and in sequence to ensure the planes turned around fast and flew on time at lower cost. There is a funny story about how Indigo reduced the water in the toilet water tank by half in in winter, given less water was used in winter. The attention to detail is incredible. Another element, which comes out in Rahul Bhatia's words is that the price of the product (plane) is rarely the key cost. Rather there are hundreds of unforseen and unplanned costs that can land up which can kill you, and hence it is critical to have clear visibilty of all possible costs, and ensure that you are covered in unforeseen circumstances. As an illustration, the author points to the contracts signed by Indigo and Kingfisher with engine maker Pratt & Whitney. When Pratt & Whitney’s engines developed snags, leading to grounded planes, in Indigo's case, the downtime was paid by the engine co, while in Kingfisher's case there was no such clause, leading to huge losses for them. On such minutiae does success lie.

The reality surfaces... While I concur that resorting to slapping the pilot is unjustifiable under any circumstances, the conveyed message by blaming passengers only serves to validate the growing arrogance observed among IndiGo staff nowadays... What do you think???

Edtech Entrepreneur / Founder, Conlear Education, Passionate about Continuous Learning, Personal Productivity and Personal Knowledge Management.
Strategic fit is a crucial concept in business strategy that refers to the alignment between a company's internal capabilities and resources with the opportunities and demands of its external environment. The contrasting fortunes of IndiGo and Jet Airways in the Indian aviation industry provide an excellent example of the importance of achieving strategic fit for long-term success in a competitive market. IndiGo was founded on three simple but deeply ingrained concepts that were neither unique to IndiGo nor were they the first to be incorporated into the airline's business philosophy. Airlines including Southwest, Ryanair, easyJet, and AirAsia have previously used IndiGo's commercial proposition and operating strategies. Prior to IndiGo's launch, airlines in India such as Air Deccan, SpiceJet, and GoAir had already implemented a low-cost model and attempted to emulate the concept of successful worldwide low-cost counterparts. So, what did IndiGo do differently that made it the market leader? Read through the case. The detailed case study with teaching note will be available on Conlear Education website on 1st July 2024.

✈️ IndiGo becomes the world's THIRD-LARGEST airline! This places IndiGo as the only Indian carrier among the global top 10, outshining giants like United Airlines and Air China, as per Bloomberg's data. IndiGo is a relatively new airline, compared to the other big names on the list. IndiGo was started in 2006 by Rakesh Gangwal and Rahul Bhatia. By 2012, it became India's leading carrier by passenger market share. IndiGo's share prices jumped by 4.73% on Wednesday, reaching 4% upper circuit at a 52-week high-mark. This is how the stock has performed over different periods 👇 • YTD: 27.78% • 1 year: 102.44% • 5 years: 165.66% IndiGo has been making headlines recently. In March, co-founder Rakesh Gangwal sold a 5.83% stake for ₹6,785 crore through block deals. Last year, IndiGo and Air India made aviation history by placing the world's largest aircraft orders. IndiGo secured an order for 500 A320neo family planes with Airbus in June 2023. As IndiGo continues to scale new heights, we can't help but wonder: Have you invested in IndiGo?

AIPA is run by Qantas Group pilots. Our dedicated team facilitate the advancement of our members' interests
The CAPA Australia Pacific Aviation Summit was held in Brisbane last week. AIPA Treasurer Glen Hunter and AIPA Vice President, Phil Peatfield and I represented AIPA where, during the event, it was interesting to hear many of the speakers and panelists regard the Qantas Group with derision and a degree of schadenfreude. At the dinner only two people in attendance who were prepared to admit we were from Qantas – myself and Glen Hunter. Many people commiserated with us as to where Qantas currently sits in the minds of the industry, which is unusual given that Qantas usually sits quite highly on an aviation pedestal. During the summit, I was invited to take part in a panel discussion with Teri O’Toole, Federal Secretary of the FAAA and James Goodwin, CEO of the Australian Airports Association. The key point I made in my introductory comments was that aviation is the ultimate team sport. In very few places elsewhere in industry do we see the need for a multitude of separate teams to interact so closely as we do in aviation to safely move passengers and freight between two points on the globe. Given those interactions it is quite amazing that we are on time as frequently as we are. As pilots we hold a privileged position at the tip of that process to bring it all together (and bring it to a stop when required). I then pointed out that successful teams require four things: the right people, the right training, the right experience, and the right ‘buy in’/support from the ‘organisation’. All the training in the world means nothing without the right people. All the training and experience in the world on those right people is brought undone without the buy in/support from the remainder of the organisation. It was the first issue (people) and the latter issue (support) that I suggested was the serious issue facing Qantas specifically and aviation generally at the moment. I then suggested that it was the latter that was causing a shortage of the former... Read more about the discussion and my thoughts here - https://lnkd.in/gcBjB4qY Captain Tony Lucas AIPA President

Time to focus on #AirIndiaExpress. With a rapid expansion plan to make a mark in Indian skies, what is it that the airline is relying on? To take on the likes of #IndiGo, the airline will need a differentiator strategy and it seems to have three points for that. Read on.
Is Air India Express preparing the right recipe to take on IndiGo?
