The two new chief executives at Air India and IndiGo come with contrasting reputations but face the same challenge—do their predecessors one better.
In a surprise move on Wednesday, the Tata Sons chairman announced he will exit Bombay House at the end of his tenure in February 2027. He leaves at what is one of the most crucial times for the group.
Instead of going after scale like Jio, the Sunil Bharti Mittal-led telecom giant is chasing a smaller but higher-quality customer base to grow its home broadband segment. Will the bet pay off?
