Former AI Express CEO Aloke Singh now in IndiGo cockpit as CSO

NEW DELHI: IndiGo Monday appointed Aloke Singh, former MD & CEO of Air India Express, as its chief strategy officer (CSO). Singh had completed his tenure at AI Express on March 19, during which he had overseen the merger of erstwhile AirAsia India into the airline and steered the Tata Group low cost carrier (LCC) to become a force to reckon with. He has previously held senior leadership positions, including in the strategy domain, at Air India and Oman Air.

This is the first big hire by IndiGo founder Rahul Bhatia who has recently taken over as the airline’s interim CEO and clearly signals the intention to aggressively scout for the best available talent in India and abroad.
