Former AI Express CEO Aloke Singh now in IndiGo cockpit as CSO IndiGo has appointed Aloke Singh, former managing director and CEO of Air India Express, as its chief strategy officer (CSO). Singh completed his tenure at AI Express on March 19, during which he oversaw the merger of AirAsia India into the airline and led the Tata Group’s low-cost carrier to establish itself as a significant player in the aviation sector. His previous roles included senior leadership positions in strategy at Air India and Oman Air. This marks the first major hiring by IndiGo founder Rahul Bhatia, who recently became the airline’s interim CEO. The appointment signals IndiGo’s intent to attract top talent both in India and globally. Bhatia stated that Singh’s combination of strategic vision and operational expertise will be crucial as IndiGo builds a more agile and future-ready organization. He noted that Singh’s deep understanding of the aviation ecosystem will aid the airline in accelerating its growth phase. For now, Singh will report to Bhatia, but once the next CEO is appointed, he will transition to reporting to the new leader. Singh expressed enthusiasm about joining IndiGo at a pivotal moment for the airline and the broader Indian aviation industry. He highlighted IndiGo’s achievements in redefining domestic and short-haul international aviation and its plans to expand globally. As CSO, Singh will lead the airline’s long-term strategic planning and drive enterprise-wide transformation initiatives focused on growth, operational efficiency, and competitive positioning in a dynamic global market. The airline emphasized that Singh’s role will involve collaborating with leadership on cross-functional priorities to enhance agility, elevate customer experiences, and deliver sustainable shareholder value.#air_india_express #indigo #rahul_bhatia #tata_group #aloke_singh
