Rakesh Gangwal, co-founder of Indian airline IndiGo, has played a significant role in the company's success. With a background in the airline industry, Gangwal guided IndiGo to become the leading airline in the Indian market. However, in February 2022, he announced his departure from the company amid differences over management and corporate governance issues. Gangwal has recently joined the board of Southwest Airlines and has invested heavily in the US carrier. Despite his success and considerable wealth, Gangwal remains a frugal individual, prioritizing profitability over unnecessary customer pampering.

Southwest Airlines has appointed Rakesh Gangwal, co-founder of InterGlobe Aviation (operator of India's largest airline, IndiGo), to its board of directors. This move comes as Southwest faces pressure from activist investor Elliott to take defensive measures. Elliott has called for changes in the board composition and leadership due to disappointing financial results. Southwest recently implemented a "poison pill" strategy to prevent Elliott from increasing its stake in the company. Gangwal's expertise in travel technology is seen as valuable to support Southwest's operations and strategic initiatives.
