Last week, we got three of the most visible faces of Indian aviation together, each having years of experience in their own right, having worked through various situations in aviation. The event was broadcast live to hundreds of people, with many of them getting a chance to participate in the discussion as well.

The speakers included,

• Aditya Ghosh, who now sits on the Board of Directors of OYO, worked for about a decade at IndiGo as President, leading the charge of the airline. He had a huge role to play in building the airline to what it is today, the largest airline by Marketshare in India today. Brand IndiGo is one of the coolest and funkiest brands out there in terms of airline branding today.
• Sanjiv Kapoor, who is currently advising GoAir, spent years at SpiceJet as COO, having launched the famous INR 1 sales amongst other things. He later moved to Vistara, where, as the CSCO, he with his team built brand Vistara. Also, he had many different ideas executed, such as the redesign of the A320neo for a better paxex and launching the RetroLivery. At both airlines, Sanjiv also worked to make a transformational culture change as well.
• Rahul Taneja, the Chief People Officer at Jet Airways, and one of the last people standing when the airline folded up last year. Rahul helped many Jet Airways staffers find employment when everything was going south.

There was a long and interesting discussion, on many topics such as the marketing at IndiGo, including the wigs, the state of affairs at Jet Airways in the last days of the airline, and the difference between working at an Indian airline v/s an American airline.

Do share your inputs on which other people can we call in for a live discussion. And what topics would you like to hear more about in the next live?
