Aditya Ghosh decides to move on after almost a decade in IndiGo cockpit

Sector watchers said the development was not a surprise as IndiGo is planning for the takeoff of its next phase of growth

After almost a decade in the cockpit of IndiGo, President Aditya Ghosh has decided to move on. In a statement on Friday, the largest airline of the country said he would step down on July 31.

Gregory Taylor, who had earlier led the revenue management team, will take over as president and chief executive officer (CEO), after regulatory and security clearance. Rahul Bhatia, promoter of IndiGo, will be interim CEO.

In a letter to employees, Ghosh said he would start his own venture, but did not elaborate. He said after 10 years, it was time “to step off the treadmill”
