How technology became IndiGo’s passport to profitability

If the gauge of an IT leader is the business value he or she delivers to the organization, Stephen Tame hasn’t done badly. During his stint at IndiGo he has exploited a generation of competitive technologies like big data, analytics, IoT and mobility to keep IndiGo soaring high well into the future.
Tame landed at IndiGo in the summer of 2014. As the Chief Advisor IT & Chief Digital Officer, he had his work cut out for him: implement IT to catalyze business advantage and chart strategic direction. But that was not nearly enough.
As the digital custodian of the largest domestic low-cost carrier, he had to embark on a multidimensional effort to reengineer its core business applications to help digital permeate through them. Net result: creating business value through digital initiatives.

And Tame was undeniably the right man or the job. He had logged miles of experience in the airline industry, including a decade long stint with Jetstar Airways as its CIO, Head of Group Information Technology. This breadth of experience helps him weigh business objectives and apply innovative solutions to realize them.

That's no mean feat. IndiGo needs innovative technologies to keep up with its fast pace of growth. Since its inception in 2006, IndiGo has soared with speed. With a market share of 39.6 per cent, IndiGo has emerged as India’s fastest-growing carrier and the largest domestic passenger airline. It operates in 49 destinations including 8 international destinations and has a fleet of 155 aircraft.
