- 2. www.cs-professional.com Rahul Bhatia At its simplest, IndiGo is a story of how two extremely low-profile men, sitting 7,000 miles apart, are building an airline with a cost structure and profit margins that few have achieved. The two, Rahul Bhatia and Rakesh Gangwal, own 50% each of InterGlobe Aviation, the company that runs IndiGo. As managing director of InterGlobe Enterprises, a $2 billion (revenue) group, with subsidiaries in the hotel, airline and travel technology business, Bhatia is the one in charge of operations. He has used almost two decades of experience of the travel business as well as, some say, his contacts in the government, to set up and run IndiGo. Bhatia explains his basic philosophy on costs as “thinking before spending a single dollar, ‘Do I need to spend it? Can I get away without it?’”. One visible difference between IndiGo and other airlines including Spice- Jet, which operates in the same space, is the very low marketing and advertising spend. Bhatia is a firm believer in the word of mouth and IndiGo has a much lower visibility than other airlines. “How many passengers come in after seeing a hoarding? It is not about putting your name on the tail,” he says. The airline did start a campaign earlier this year after a spat with SpiceJet on on-time performance claims. Headquartered in Gurgaon, InterGlobe has grown from a single enterprise to a formidable travel corporation and has a network of 52 offices across 23 cities in India and abroad and has a significant presence in the fields of aviation management, travel-related services, travel technology, travel distribution services and hotel development and management services.
