Vistara CEO tries to reassure employees worried over merger with Air India

Vistara’s proposed merger with Air India has left its employees anxious about their future with the company. The ​Tata group on Tuesday announced the merger of Vistara with Air India under a deal wherein Singapore Airlines will also acquire a 25.1 per cent stake in Air India, marking a major consolidation in India’s fast-growing aviation space.

According to a report in The Economic Times, several Vistara employees, dazed by the recent announcement and gripped by uncertainty looming over their jobs, have started looking for jobs outside the company.

Vinod Kannan, the CEO of Vistara since January this year, tried to calm down employees in an email addressed to them.
