In normal circumstances, the meeting on July 19 would have been a happy rendezvous between the architects of IndiGo. The country’s most profitable airline is expected to register its highest profit—more than Rs 1,000 crore.
But on Friday, Rahul Bhatia and Rakesh Gangwal — the founders of IndiGo — will possibly face each other with deep mistrust, which the board chairman, M Damodaran, will attempt to defuse.
Damodaran has proposed to include at least two of the proposed demands made by Gangwal, according to a source in the know. The IndiGo board meeting is likely to take up the proposal of expanding the size of the board, he said.
Also, appointing a woman director would be discussed.
“Besides approving the results, these two items have been included in the agenda of the meeting. This is not because of Gangwal’s demands but these issues have been deliberated for a long time in order to improve the corporate governance of the company and meet regulatory norms. Gangwal, who usually attends board meetings through video conference, is flying down from London to attend it in person this time.
Indra Nooyi, former CEO of beverage giant Pepsico, has been approached by the company to be appointed a director on the board, it is learnt.
Nooyi is currently on the board of e-commerce giant Amazon.
