Shock and silence at Bombay House
Business Standard
|June 13, 2025
Grief hung heavy over Bombay House, Tata Group's iconic headquarters, after a London-bound Air India Dreamliner crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad on Thursday—one of the deadliest air disasters in recent Indian aviation history.
The mood inside the building, usually abuzz with activity, was subdued as news trickled in of the tragedy involving the airline the group had reacquired just over two years ago.
Tata Group, which took back the reins of Air India in January 2022, moved quickly to activate its crisis response and emergency protocols, a group source said. "Everyone is shaken—the mood is grim," said an executive.
The crash has dealt a blow to the conglomerate's efforts to turn around Air India, especially following its merger with Vistara in 2024.
