IndiGo cofounder and Interim CEO Rahul Bhatia said there is nothing to do with resignation of Aditya Ghosh with the appointement of foreigners in the company. He said they are only hired becuase of their work experience in various field and that Indian were still in charge of key departments.
Ghosh was involved in the appointment of all expats across various functions that include Willy Boulter, chief strategy officer, Michael Swiatek, chief planning officer, Jason Herter, vice-president, operations control centre and dispatch, and Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, chief operating officer.
In an interview with Economics times Rahul Bhatia said, "Aditya had been saying for the last few months that he wanted to get off the treadmill of running an airline, and the board finally had to accede to his wish. Aditya was at the helm all these years and we will miss him, but the company will not miss a heartbeat — the transition will be seamless".
“This is not to disparage Indian managers. If you don’t have it, you don’t have it,” Bhatia added. Functions such as finance, inflight services, ground handling and human resources are all headed by Indians, some of whom have overseas experience, he said.
