Simply Fly is this man's vision but he has his feet firmly on the ground. The man who revolutionized the Airlines sector is back with a bang.
Captain Gopinath is in the news again this time for initiating the domestic airlines in Gujarat. And what a saras plan it seems to be. Gujarat being the hub of all the economic activity nowadays, the Shahs and the Patels will have no problems in travelling from Surat to Jamnagar. The airline is called Deccan Shuttle and will start 12 flights a day between nine cities such as Ahmedabad, Surat, Jamnagar, Bhavnagar and Kandla with five 12-seater Grand Caravans.
It is his third foray into Indian Airline business with an almost perfect report card. This man knows his exit well and plans everything to perfection.
So what does Captain have to do to make this airline a hit ??
For starters, yeah for starters he should include a top class and continuously rejuvenating inventory of jalebi and fafda. Nothing can keep a Gujju bhai happy than fresh jalebi - fafda in the mornings !!!
The khaman and the dhoklas should keep on coming as part of the munchies by the sides and not to forget the spiced buttermilk. Thats a must.
The flight timings should be arranged properly so as to no Gujju bhai and ben misses their daily soaps. You dont want to infuriate the lady of the house on basis of her TV soap. Then your payment and incentives are in a fix.
Also there should be a small temple in the aeroplane as all Baas need their bit of prayers and meditation done especially in the morning flights.
The speakers should play the latest tracks by Falguni Pathak & Preety-Pinky dandiya songs or else the refund clause will be triggered. You cannot simply take out Dandiya from Gujarati person's life.
The business class TVs should only play NDTV Profit & CNBCs of this world unless this is ensured the flight wont take off.
If Capt Gopinath ensures that such steps are taken then no one can stop the Deccan Shuttle to rise beyond the loss making horizons of the Indian Airline Industry.
The Legend of Gopinath once created major airwaves with Air Deccan but this venture will definitely include heating more microwaves than creating more airwaves.

Sushant, rightly said Capt. Gopinath always knows his exit point before venturing into a new assignment.I suppose with the Japanese investors showing interest in Gujarat, he has timed his entry correctly as well.
ReplyDeleteHe won't mind taking a note of your suggestions and trying them out to make this venture successful :)
