Jet Airways collapse: 'Those were the toughest days of our lives,' says former HR head Rahul Taneja

The days leading to April 17, 2019 - when Jet Airways suspended its operations - were the toughest for the airline's 16,000 employees, including the Chief People Officer Rahul Taneja.

Till then, Taneja and his colleagues continued working "with an endeavour to continue running the airline operations. No one ever gave up. It was only after I had released the communication of the suspension of service, did the gravity of the situation dawn on me," recounts Taneja, who later joined Jindal Steel & Power Ltd as the Group Chief HR Officer.
Excerpts of his interview with Moneycontrol:
A: Those were some of the toughest days of our lives. While we all were battling it out, we remained focussed on the task at hand and kept evaluating options after another with an endeavour to continue running the airline operations. No one ever gave up. All employee groups collaborated and worked cohesively all those days, weeks and months leading to April 17.
It was only after I had released the communication of the suspension of service, did the gravity of the situation dawn on me. The toughest decision for me, and I am sure for all employees, was leaving each other.
