IndiGo has appointed Aloke Singh as its Chief Strategy Officer, following approval by the Board of InterGlobe Aviation.
In his new role, Singh will lead the airline’s long-term strategic planning and steer enterprise-wide transformation initiatives aimed at accelerating growth, improving operational efficiency, and strengthening IndiGo’s competitive position in an increasingly dynamic global aviation landscape. He will work closely with the leadership team on cross-functional priorities to improve agility, enhance customer experience, and deliver sustainable shareholder value.
Singh brings more than three decades of experience in the aviation sector across strategy, planning, operations, and commercial functions. He is widely recognised for leading complex operational and cultural transformation, driving rapid growth, and managing large-scale expansion programmes.
Most recently, he served as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Air India Express, where he played a key role in the airline’s transformation, delivering operational improvements and supporting strong growth. He has also held senior leadership roles, including in strategy, at Air India and Oman Air.
Welcoming Singh to the airline, Rahul Bhatia, Managing Director, IndiGo, said, “Aloke brings an exceptional blend of strategic vision and operational depth. His comprehensive understanding of the aviation ecosystem will be invaluable as we build a more agile, resilient and future-ready organisation, and accelerate our next phase of growth. For now, Aloke will report to me. Once the next CEO assumes office, he will transition to reporting to the new Chief Executive.”
Commenting on his appointment, Aloke Singh said, “I am delighted to join IndiGo at such a pivotal moment for the airline and for Indian aviation broadly. Having redefined India’s domestic and short-haul international aviation landscape, IndiGo is taking its ambitions global. I look forward to working with colleagues across the organisation to sharpen our strategic direction, double down on operational excellence and deepen and broaden our markets.”
