IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers Quits Suddenly, Founder Rahul Bhatia Steps In

IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers has stepped down with immediate effect, ending his tenure that began in 2022. The airline’s board accepted his resignation on March 10, citing personal reasons, and waived his notice period. Rahul Bhatia, the airline’s co-founder and managing director, will temporarily oversee operations while a new chief executive is selected. The leadership change comes months after the carrier faced major flight disruptions that affected thousands of passengers and drew regulatory scrutiny.
