IndiGo, the country’s largest airline, on Monday announced the appointment of former Air India Express managing director Alok Singh as chief strategy officer.
The appointment comes less than two weeks after the sudden resignation of IndiGo CEO Peter Elbers.
“Singh will lead the company’s long-term strategic planning function and drive enterprise-wide transformation initiatives focused on accelerating growth, enhancing operational efficiencies and enhancing competitive positioning in the rapidly evolving global aviation landscape.
“He will engage closely with the leadership team on cross-functional priorities designed to improve agility, elevate customer experience and deliver sustainable shareholder value,” IndiGo said in a statement.
Singh brings an exceptional blend of strategic vision and operational depth, said Rahul Bhatia, Managing Director, IndiGo.
“His comprehensive understanding of the aviation ecosystem will be invaluable as we build a more agile, resilient and future-ready organization, and accelerate the next phase of growth. Currently, Alok will report to me. Once the next CEO takes office, he will transition to reporting to the new CEO,” Bhatia said.
An aviation industry veteran, Singh had worked at Air India Express as managing director and chief executive officer. He has also held senior leadership positions at Air India and Oman Air.
