InterGlobe Aviation, the parent company of IndiGo, has announced the appointment of Aloke Singh as Chief Strategy Officer, following approval from its Board. The move is aligned with the airline’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its strategic capabilities as it enters a new phase of expansion and global positioning.

In his new role, Singh will lead the airline’s long-term strategic planning function and oversee enterprise-wide transformation initiatives. His mandate includes driving growth, improving operational efficiency and enhancing IndiGo’s competitive positioning in an increasingly dynamic global aviation environment. He will work closely with the leadership team on cross-functional priorities aimed at improving organisational agility, elevating customer experience and delivering sustainable shareholder value.

Singh brings more than three decades of experience in the aviation sector, with expertise across strategy, planning, operations and commercial functions. His career includes leadership roles focused on managing complex transformations, scaling operations and executing expansion strategies in competitive markets.

Most recently, Singh served as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Air India Express, where he led operational improvements and growth initiatives as part of the airline’s transformation phase. Prior to that, he held senior leadership positions at Air India and Oman Air, including roles in the strategy function.

Welcoming Singh to the organisation, IndiGo Managing Director Rahul Bhatia 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.”

The appointment underscores IndiGo’s focus on strengthening its leadership team as it scales operations and pursues long-term growth in both domestic and international aviation markets.
