A possible difference of opinion between IndiGo founders Rahul Bhatia and Rakesh Gangwal explains the ongoing top management rejig at India's largest airline.
Multiple sources told Moneycontrol that the differences may have led to the resignation of Greg Taylor, a senior advisor who was tipped to be the next CEO, soon after the appointment of Ronojoy Dutta.
Though the airline is yet to comment on Taylor's exit, two dailies The Financial Express and Business Standard, said that the senior executive is on his way out.
A senior executive told Moneycontrol: "It was clear that only one of them could exist at the airline."
Earlier this month, Dutta was appointed Principal Consultant at IndiGo, and is now favourite to take the CEO seat, which has been vacant since the unexpected exit of Aditya Ghosh, the then President. In the meanwhile, Bhatia had donned the additional role of interim CEO.
"Ghosh was close to Bhatia. On the other hand, Taylor comes from United Airlines, just like Gangwal," said a senior executive from the industry.
Taylor had come back to IndiGo after an earlier year-long stint till 2017, when he was Executive Vice President of Revenue Management and Network Planning. The report by Business Standard said that Taylor will leave the airline at the end of December.
