As a person working for akasa air i truly believe in what mr aditya has said in this conversation. The humbleness and sincerity one must have for their job should not just be motivated by money. The core values of akasa air can be seen throughout the company from the top management to its most junior employees. This podcast was really helpful and i learned a lot of things, motivated me to be the best version of myself and keep pushing forward. A huge thanks to the entire team and mr ghosh as well 🙏🏼 for this podcast.
Capital letters for Nouns ?
The interviewer asks long winded questions. Leading questions!
Amazing podcast! Aditya Ghosh is so elaborate and Shantanu is always able to get the best out of his guests. Must watch!
I admire Aditya since Indigo days compared to the flamboyant ones in those days. Also he is so chill but detailed oriented.
You know, I would happen to read certain books about the aviation industry and FMCg to understand what actually goes behind the curtain, but the way Aditya sir explained it to what it is there to operate an airline in the inherently loss making business and building a profitability bridge into that boy, been his FAN from the Indigo days, GEM of a person, all thanks to Shantanu sir to bring people from the backstage and explain their magic and asking questions which actually make sense and gets me the knowledge of about 5 books in just one podcast, thanks man.
By far, one of the best episodes by Barbershop. Super insightful, thank you for your hard work team. Keep it going!
What a delightful episode! As a supply chain professional, I'm exploring marketing strategy, human psychology, and micro-level customer understanding through Shantanu's podcast.
Very very informative podcast for youngsters like us. Mr Aditya is great gentleman with yeas of experience and sharing all the beats and pieces of information for our generation.
And Mr Shantanu is an active listener and asked those exact wuestions which were needed to heard.
From now on I will try my best to follow this channel.
Support from Bangladesh!
Khub sundor dada..
Opened up my mind on how close we are to the market gaps and it's a matter of being more observant and curious! Has to be the best insight for me
Amazing podcast. Just love the way this podcast was conducted truly sequential. Also salute Aditya Ghosh Sir you are simply great. And my favourite Shantanu Deshpande sir big fan of you and your company. I am a frequent user of Bombay Shaving Company.
Very nice Podcast. Really helps the entrepreneurs with Aditya’s thoughts.
Listening to this podcast while waiting for my akasa flight which just got delayed by 2 hours 🤣🤣
Is it really the most on time flight?
Great convo...as we go up the ladder,people at top seems more genuine,less corporate bullshit,less jealous.They retain that innocence some how.
Thank you Shantanu for doing this and Thank you Aditya
In one day i will definitely coming to your show✌
He was our hero in my 6e days
He was our cool 6eboy
Beautiful days
Shantanu, keep the download option on please
Great as always. Thank you for doing this😊😊..
Amazing. So much to learn!
At 29 minutes where you mentioning about experience, vistara have taken a lead in this and are driving quality and adding premium for the quality while indigo has offlate lost its mojo.
Ek no. Shantanu Dada👍
If he valued safety of passengers so much, he wouldn't have gone for a all B737 Max fleet. Akasa got a great deal on those planes, because no airlines around the world wanted to buy them.
Watching this podcast while waiting for an Akasa flight 😂
Was it on time?
Always follow you Aditya 😄 akashas back bone 737max
Great podcast, great examples
Rahul + Rakesh + Aditya = 🔥
He is speaking a typical CEO language simply indigo had fair share of run of running economically best airlines until they could not the best not the worst customer first approach is common in every industry its nothing new but he was indeed able to implement for long time for that hats off to him ! But unnecessary academic spoech really
Shantanu, when will we have Sudhir Sithapati on barbershop?
I hardly get anyone liking flying in Indigo...
It was more of Shantanu interview. But good podcast.
It’s a gabfest for someone who is dying for a stage. Can be tightly edited to a crisp 30 min of essentials and save all our time
Absolutely right.
I felt I was the only one thinking about it
Data without context and story is not entirely digestible !
also the chewing noises were annoying
Good one 👏🏻
Where were you guys?
26:23 can we have more of the pocket of excellence print out story pleaseeeee thank you 😅
Then why paying ground crew very less sir ?
Do you believe them ? They always have double standards
2 Hrs ?? u shud anouce this as a movie 😢😢😢
For first 20min i was lost where this convo is going
Yep, very disconnected
👍
17:04 OYO?
IndiGo and Akasa are not affordable. Sometimes Vistara is more affordable than these two.
Even I prefer vistara and air india because of the food.
Vistara always. Whatevr Aditya said here is all dilusional. Customers only seek value and nothing else. Given them that and they will stay with you and only till you keep giving. Infact indigo and Akasa should be berated for lower the airlines standard where they didnt even offer water. Vistara is the game changer.
And yet they both are quite successful. 😂
Here first!?

Do you Not follow sam chui ?
I'm searching for a comment, 'Hamara Paisa Vapas Karo!'
The podcast is all about 2 bald men
Indigo has become pathetic now
I watched till 59:43 and tbh, absolute waste of my time
Bhai paise de , work is transactional all the other things is 💩
Kyu bhai kya hua?
why is he trying and presuming to speak like foreigners....where as indian accent is so powerful.
Maybe his Career started from BPO
Didn’t you notice the Latin moto he had?
AB ye AA gya language teacher. English hai foreign language. Toh bol Raha hai woh. Tera problem kya hai ? Sun ha hai toh sun , nai toh mara o.
This is the future Naresh Goyal - 😂😂😂 jet airways part 2.0
His principles are what made indigo the giant it is today! Very insightful and inspiring Aditya sir🫡
