The board of directors of Indian aviation giant IndiGo is often seen as an army of bigots. Composed of senior industry experts, experienced financial executives and strategists, this board has been playing an important role in the company’s decisions. But the question arises that when there are so many experienced and skilled people on the board, then why has the situation in the company become challenging recently?
According to sources, many senior executives on the board of IndiGo are known for their long experience and strategic ability in the airline industry. Board members actively contribute to the company’s financial position, operating strategy, market expansion and competitive planning. Despite this, some internal and external challenges of the company have recently created new complications for the board.
Experts say that the work of the board is not limited to just monitoring the operations of the company. It also provides guidance in strategic decisions, investment planning, human resources and legal aspects. In the case of IndiGo, the board has taken many bold decisions from time to time, such as expansion of new routes, modernization of the fleet and strategies against competitors.
Nevertheless, industry experts point out that the situation became challenging when volatility in global fuel prices, fluctuations in flight charges and aggressive strategies adopted by competitors put pressure on the board’s decisions. In such a situation, even the experienced board members had to make difficult choices.
IndiGo insiders say that despite the presence of bigwigs on the board, it has been challenging to maintain coordination between the company’s employees, operations department and external partners. Many times there is a mismatch between the board’s decisions and implementation on the ground, which affects the functioning of the company.
Financial and strategic experts believe that this is a normal process. In any large company, even when decisions are made at the board level, real-world circumstances are not always controlled. IndiGo’s board has worked several times to bail out the company through its strategy and policies, but external pressures and industry uncertainties made the situation challenging.
Experts also believe that amid competition in the Indian aviation sector and uncertainties such as fuel costs, operating any airline is challenging. In such a situation, the experience and decision-making ability of the board becomes very important for the company.
