We are so excited to welcome our next guest on FCTC; BIAL’s Hari Marar!
In this episode, Hari is tackling all of our burning questions, and we had plenty to keep the conversation going: What sets Bengaluru International Airport apart from Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Mumbai? Are strategic partnerships with Uber, KSTDC, BLADE, and BMTC the secret to BIAL’s success? What lessons did the founding team take away from the critical media coverage of the airport in 2008?
Hari is a proud parent in FCTC’s latest episode, looking back on Bengaluru’s aviation journey - from starting its international passenger journey relatively late, to currently being India’s third largest airport carrying over 37.5 million passengers as of 2023, and over 30% of India’s perishables for the fourth year in a row.
Has the competition between Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad aided healthy competition while simplifying the passenger experience? What will elevate Bengaluru to become an aviation hub like Dubai, Heathrow, or Hong Kong? How is the airport tackling sustainability amid reports of ‘Day Zero’ and a water crisis? This episode is not shying away from giving you answers.
Tune in, take notes, and settle in. This episode is bound to enthral all those who love the city, and want to know all about Bengaluru’s most famous (and expensive) infrastructure project. Don’t miss out!
