About Me

Rahul Bhatia's biggest asset is a stake in InterGlobe Aviation, whose IndiGo is India's biggest airline by market share. IndiGo, which he cofounded with billionaire airline veteran Rakesh Gangwal in 2006, has a 65% domestic market share (as of January 2025). It has a fleet of more than 400 aircraft and flies to 125 destinations, including 37 overseas. Its CEO, Pieter Elbers, was the former CEO of KLM. In 2019, Bhatia and Gangwal had a public falling out over how IndiGo is run. In 2022, Gangwal stepped down from the board and has been gradually selling his stake since. His privately held InterGlobe Enterprises has a joint venture with logistics giant UPS called Movin.
