Apollo Tyres Ltd’s Post

Last week, Tatas have got an official OK to merge Air India and Vistara.   While various learned views were floating around, I present below my take that I posted in January 2022. Do you think my Point No 2 also makes sense?   My post of Jan 2022:   4 brands on hand. Now what?   By acquiring Air India, Tata has invited plenty of challenges. The Think Tank out there would surely have considered ways to untangle all aspects of business to make the airline fly high, for long.   Since I am no match to the battery of consultants on the project, I will restrict myself to touching on a very basic issue that has the potency to make a lasting impact. Branding.   In the airline business, Tata will have 4 brands under its wings.   Air India Air India Express Air Asia Vistara   Which ones should it go with? Retain all 4? Or stay put with just 1 or 2 or 3? Pick any and it will have its merits and weak links. My take:   They should have 2 brands: 1. Air India. Full-service airline. Vistara would need to repaint its tail. 2. New Brand. Low-cost airline. Air India Express and Air Asia to be done with.   Air India and Brand X should be at the two extremes of the spectrum. Two independent profit centres.   Note: Given the mechanics of social media, you may not get to see all my posts. I urge you to message / inbox your email. I will put it on my private list. That way you will get my takes, like the one above, once, or twice a month depending upon the happenings in the marketplace. Thank you.    #tata #airindia #vistara #airasia #marketing #branding #business #strategy  

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐣𝐚’𝐬 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲: 𝐀𝐢𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚'𝐬 𝐄𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 Since its inception in 1932 by J.R.D. Tata, Air India has carved an indelible mark in aviation history. The iconic Maharaja, with his distinctive twirled moustache, epitomized the airline's commitment to delivering a unique and opulent flying experience. 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 Air India's recent rebranding marks a significant shift. The Maharaja, once synonymous with the airline, now takes a back seat, owing to a nuanced perception gap between its meaning in India and abroad. This strategic move is aimed at aligning the brand's message more effectively with an international audience. 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 '𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚' The new logo, aptly named 'The Vista,' draws inspiration from India's traditional window designs. This emblem signifies endless possibilities, progressiveness, and a bold outlook. Beyond visual changes, this transformation reflects Air India's commitment to modernity, efficiency, and technology-enabled operations. The choice of aubergine as a prominent color choice not only exudes richness but also nods to Air India's heritage and coincidentally aligns with Vistara's legacy within the Tata Group. As the Maharaja gracefully takes a step back, his legacy remains woven into Air India's narrative. This rebranding doesn't just signify a visual shift; it's a declaration of a new era in aviation, an era that emphasizes modernization, efficiency, and a commitment to global travelers. #AirIndia #Rebranding #Logo #Trademark #aviationlaw #jrdtata #LawUpdate #PhotoLegal

Air India Limited mid-stint update! It's been an absolutely stunning ride so far. When you see your efforts start to raise a new brand from ideas to real life, it quickly becomes one of your most cherished career experiences. Working closely under my manager Mohit Gandhi, with constant guidance from Nikhil Kumar Upadhyaya, I've been working in collaboration with multiple departments within the firm, and with partner firms & vendors, towards a single goal: the successful management & implementation of our new brand. I could never have guessed the sheer number of factors, tasks (both great and small), and stakeholders that one must manage to prop up the monster that's disguised as a simple exercise. Apart from that, I've also been developing a few CX initiatives of my own and with the help of the people around me, I hope to implement them before my time here is done. But, we're just getting started. Rushing against deadlines, managing all internal stakeholders, vendors and partnerships, getting every asset ready for delivery, and putting them on display for the world to see; hopefully, all of you will be able to see the effects of our efforts soon enough! A month and a half (almost two now) couldn't have flown by quicker and I couldn't have asked for a better team, one that makes the workplace feel like home. They've taught me to look at things from a far more nuanced lens than I was capable of before joining; from what it takes to truly enhance customer experience, to what it takes to successfully implement it. The exposure has been tremendous as I got to witness even the C-Suite of Air India in action! Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much. Flying high on my date with the skies, hoping for the best. Spot me in the photo if you can! #airindia #tas #tata #thisistata #aviation #airlines #brand #brandmanagement #management #projectmanagement #work #job #corporatelife #mba #career #life #corporate #tatagroup #tataelxsi

Decoding Tata Group's Strategic Move in the Aviation Sector As the year draws to a close, Tata Group is set to retire the Vistara - TATA SIA Airlines Ltd. brand, aiming to unify its four airlines under a single name. This strategic decision is more than just a rebranding; it's a calculated move to optimize operations and leverage synergies across their aviation portfolio. What does this mean for the industry? Unified Brand Identity: Consolidating the airlines under one brand simplifies marketing efforts and creates a stronger, more recognizable presence in the market. Operational Efficiency: A single brand can streamline operations, reduce costs, and enhance coordination among the various entities, leading to improved service delivery. Customer Experience: Passengers will benefit from a more seamless travel experience, with consistent service standards and integrated loyalty programs. Market Positioning: This move could bolster #TataGroup's competitive edge, positioning them as a formidable player in the Indian and global aviation markets. Challenges Ahead: While the unification promises many advantages, it also comes with challenges such as integrating diverse corporate cultures, aligning operational procedures, and managing customer perceptions during the transition. This bold step by Tata Group reflects their commitment to innovation and excellence in the aviation industry. It will be fascinating to see how this transformation unfolds and shapes the future of air travel in India. What are your thoughts on this strategic move?

The rebranding of Air India Limited has truly left me in awe. Witnessing their transformation today has been a remarkable experience. It appears that their marketing team has ingeniously crafted a new font design, seemingly inspired by the window design of their current aircraft. This choice of design elements communicates volumes about the brand. The graceful curve embodies humility, while the regal golden hue reflects a sense of royalty. The incorporation of purple subtly aligns with their existing brand, Vistara, promoting inclusiveness. My admiration for them has already been fortified by the knowledge that they are backed by India's largest conglomerate. Their partnership with esteemed entities such as TCS, a pioneering technology company, and TAJ SATS, renowned for high-quality in-flight dining, is bound to elevate their services. Additionally, the affiliation with the prestigious TAJ hotel chain completes a value chain that promises excellence. The seamless integration of this new logo with their existing brands adds to their appeal. Notably, the inclusion of "India" in their name holds immense significance. Associating with the world's fifth-largest economy, already acknowledged globally by our Honorable President, is akin to gaining a strategic advantage. The presence of a country's name in an airline's identity speaks volumes. For instance, think of French airlines or Canadian airlines - Air France and Air Canada come to mind immediately. The presence of a nation's name simplifies half the branding effort. Congratulations once again to the entire Air India team for this commendable feat. PS: I feel a strong sense of pride as a former Tata employee. #AirIndiaRebranding #NewLogo #ProudExTataEmployee #IndianAviation #BrandIdentity #TataGroup #AirlineInnovation #udChalo

Air India Express and AIX Connect, subsidiaries of the Tata-owned Air India Group, have launched a unified brand identity under the name "Air India Express." This new identity was introduced on the latest Boeing B737-8 aircraft during its flight from Hyderabad to Mumbai, highlighting a significant milestone, Deccan Herald reported. The rebranding features a fresh visual identity with the Tata Group selecting orange and turquoise as primary colours, complemented by tangerine and ice blue as secondary colours, following Air India's recent brand makeover. The integrated entity of Air India Express and AirAsia India will now operate solely as Air India Express, marking the end of the AIX India brand. The report by Deccan Herald cited Aloke Singh, Managing Director of Air India Express, clarified that while designator codes IX and I5 will persist for some time, all services, sales, and distribution will consolidate under the unified Air India Express brand. Two B-737-8 aircraft, out of a total order of 470, have already joined Air India Express' fleet. These aircraft will soon begin commercial operations, with the first flight scheduled on the Delhi-Guwahati-Imphal route on October 19. Air India Express is set to expand ambitiously, planning to induct 50 new aircraft into its fleet within the next 15 months. This expansion will see the airline double in size over the next five years, targeting a fleet of about 170 narrow-body aircraft. The airline is also eyeing expansion into tier-2 and tier-3 cities in India, along with extending its reach to the Gulf, Middle East, and Southeast Asia. According to a Times of India report, Campbell Wilson, CEO of Air India and Chairman of Air India Express, emphasised the magnitude of this expansion, noting that on average, the Air India Group will take delivery of one new aircraft every six days until the end of 2024. He also mentioned that the merger of AirAsia India and Air India Express is progressing well, along with the planning and approvals for the merger of Air India and Vistara. Simultaneously, India's largest training academy is making substantial progress in its development. #AirIndiaNews #Rebranding #TataGroup #AirCraft #Entity #NewIdentity #formorenews #articles #blogs #jobpostings #followourpage #GirmaProConsulting
