Inside IndiGo's succession plan: Rahul Bhatia prepares son Madhav for future leadership

•Rahul Bhatia, IndiGo's billionaire cofounder, is grooming his son Madhav for a future leadership role at the airline.

•Madhav, in his mid-20s, has been attending executive committee meetings and being mentored by Aditya Pande, CEO of InterGlobe Enterprises, since his graduation in 2023.

•The move comes amid leadership changes and increased promoter oversight following last year's operational disruptions at IndiGo.

•InterGlobe Enterprises, the Bhatia family-owned holding company and IndiGo's single-largest shareholder, has been expanding into new businesses such as logistics and air taxis.

•Madhav's grooming signals greater promoter oversight at IndiGo, with Rahul Bhatia taking a more active role in operations following the airline's operational meltdown in December.
