Standing as a testimony of time, brawl and courage, Ronojoy Dutta is an Indian pilot who also was a survivor of the global aviation’s worst nightmare – the 9/11. A name in the aviation industry, he has had insights, and experiences like none other.
But in a nation where people are intrinsically moving towards foreign lands to work and settle, Dutt’s priority is firmly rooted towards his nation. That is what made him move back to the motherland after his 17- year stint at one of the most high-profiled air carriers – The United Airlines.
Being a catapult in the US aviation Industry, and after the major blow-up to the airlines due to 9/11, Ronojoy Dutta thought it was time to finally come back home. He then joined Air Sahara (India), a domestic flight carrier launched in 2000.
When questioned about the spurring thought behind his decision of moving back, he placed his hand on his chest and said “I have a passion for India. There was always an empty feeling in my stomach.”
He opined on Indian aviation industry, saying it is hopelessly underdeveloped, and the only way to travel is up.
“This is one of the fastest growing markets worldwide,” he added. He has always propagated the Indian sector as being a money-spinner in the aviation industry.
The success story of Ronojoy Dutta with Subrata Roy-led Air Sahara, India (Dutta directed its rapid expansion, which led to a 35% annual growth in revenue) has been much-admired. His appointment as the CEO of InterGlobe Aviation owned, India’s low-cost private carrier IndiGo, comes with an expectation of him replicating his success.
The 67-year-old Ronojoy Dutt has been currently working on a five-year business plan for IndiGo. His recruitment has raised high hopes for the airline, especially right now, when it is going through critical times.
Great news for India that we are having such experienced people like Ronojoy Dutta back to serve the nation and be a part of its development.
Ronojoy Dutta is very experienced person and have worked with international airlines. Appointing such person in an organisation would be very good decision.
Good news for us as now we can hope that IndiGo airlines service will improve for the customers. The way they show irresponsibility will be handled. We hope Ronojoy Dutta will change the ugly face of this airlines.
Good news article, India has reached to a stage where it can lead the world and will give more CEOs in coming future.
As far we have seen, Indigo Airlines giving more preferences to foreign brats in its premier positions. The question is whether they are not trusting Indian mind and leadership or trust more on them. Still now with Ronojoy Dutta they will again hire Indian to lead their company.
I hope good days for Indigo airlines are coming and also for its customer. Good to here this news
We still cant say that service provided by Indigo Airlines will improve whosover be the CEO. But still expectations are high from Ronojoy Dutta
