IndiGo Pride

Our conversations around Pride at IndiGo bring in more inclusion and a sense of belongingness for our employees. As an organisation, we are committed to people and an inclusive environment for all.

All IndiGo employees enjoy equal benefits with their strong supporting allies who help them in ensuring a safer workplace. All employees are a part of the “6E Safe Space” group, which is exclusive to the community folks and their allies to exchange thoughts, encourage new ideas and support each other.

Over the past few years, we have experienced the zeal of LGBTQ employees during the Pride Month celebrations in June. This year, we are making the celebrations go Rainbow across all our flying locations and corporate offices. Stay tuned as we march ahead with Pride to make the world a safer place for all!

Abhishek Chakraborty, Asst Mgr - Line Operations

I joined IndiGo in 2006 and that is when I finally found my safe space, the feeling that no other place could give me, not even my home. Being a non-binary transgender, I could never be myself, hence, growing up was difficult. But at IndiGo, I was never evaluated basis my sexual orientation or gender identity, and all the promotions, perks, opportunities were always performance based. My favourite memory here would have to be when I wore a saree to our Townhall and did not feel alienated for a single second.

Before IndiGo, I couldn’t place myself anywhere properly. Since childhood, I always knew that I was a girl, but I could only fully accept myself as a trans woman at the age of 14. As I grew older, the LGBTQIA+ community was getting more recognised which made me less hesitant about starting a job. My dream has always been to work for an airline and IndiGo was the only place where I was assessed based on my qualifications and capabilities. Thanks to IndiGo I finally have the courage to live my dream with ‘pride’.

My journey with IndiGo started 11 years ago. Today, I proudly hold the position of Assistant Manager – Flight Safety (Investigations). I was confused about my sexuality for a long time, I even got married, but thanks to my then wife, I got the courage to come out to my family and friends who accepted me as I am. IndiGo has embraced me with the same warmth, taught me how to fly fearlessly, made me realise that it’s my runway and I get to decide who I r un with.

Nishi Chauhan, Officer - AO&CS

I am what I am today because of the support and love I got from the people I met in Awadh Queer Pride and Connecting Dreams Foundation Transformation team that finally led me to IndiGo. IndiGo accepted me the way I am, and I feel proud that people from the LGBTQIA+ community look up to me as a role model. I am forever grateful to IndiGo for putting its trust in me and giving me a new reason to fly above and beyond my dreams.
