India Needs A Few Big Winners To Compete With The World: Rahul Bhatia, MD, InterGlobe Aviation

"If you truly want to yank that economic wealth that has been, over the years, taken by others, you will need to back some winners."

Speaking to Shereen Bhan, Rahul Bhatia, MD, InterGlobe Aviation, says India's aviation ambitions aren't about competing within the country, but about India competing with the world — pointing to how dominant carriers like Emirates, Qatar Airways and Lufthansa command their home markets.

Bhatia argues that as India eyes becoming the world's third-largest aviation market, it needs to back a few big winners and let them grow, rather than spreading scale thin across many players.
