During the second world war, the airline helped the Royal Air force with troop movements, shipping of supplies, the rescue of refugees and maintenance of Aircraft. After world war was regulated commercial service was restored in India and Tata Airlines became a public limited company on 29 July 1946. under The name of Air India. After Indian Independence, 49% of the airline was acquired by the government of India in 1948. And 25% to Tata and the rest for general purposes. J.R.D Tata continued being the chairman till 1998. In 1976,  J.R.D Tata was summarily removed by the moraji Desai government from the chairman of Air India.

Following the liberalization of 1991, more and more foreign and Private Companies entered the Indian aviation sector during 1994-1995. Rates Plummated during the match. Better service also began to be Received. Air India had to struggle to Keep up with some of the aviation industry. The Vajpayee government sold 40% of Air India in the financial year 2000-2001. Tatas attempt to acquire a stake in Singapore Airlines fails in trade union Protests. Vistara Airlines has earned a good reputation with Singapore Airlines.

Chandrasekaran, chairman, Tata sons Pvt.Ltd commented, " As the tata group, we are delighted to be declared as the winner of the bid for Air India. This is a historic moment, and it will be a rare privilege for our group to own and operate the country's flag bearer airline.

An Unforgettable Two-Day Trip to Kanthaloor

Our first trip as a group turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. It was a two-day trip held on January 9 and 10, and every moment of the journey was filled with excitement, fun, and togetherness. We started our journey early in the morning at 7:00 AM from Thrissur. The bus ride itself was full of energy—music, laughter, endless conversations, and the happiness of travelling together for the first time. After having breakfast on the way, we reached our industrial visit destination, Elanadu Milk Factory, around 10:30 AM. At the factory, we got a clear understanding of the milk processing industry.

I looked at him while I'm giving his mobile. There were water droplets in his eyelashes trying to fall down. He was wearing a white t-shirt and the rain makes it so transparent. I could see his body hair through his t-shirt. He wasn't even looking at me, he took a cigarette from his pocket and light it up. He doesn...
