IndiGo co-founder Rahul Bhatia clarifies the recent stake sale, assuring that he and InterGlobe Enterprises remain committed to the airline.
New Delhi, Aug 5 (PTI) IndiGo Co-Founder and Managing Director Rahul Bhatia on Monday said he and InterGlobe Enterprises are here to stay, saying the recent stake sale was to raise funds for business and general corporate purposes.

"It (stake sale) is no more complex than that... InterGlobe and I are here to stay," Bhatia said in the national capital.
