Rahul Bhatia travels economy, enjoys tea with biscuits: Pic goes viral

It would really make your day if you spot a billionaire seated next to you in the economy class, dunking his biscuits in chai.

In a picture going viral on social media, IndiGo co-founder and managing director Rahul Bhatia can be seen enjoying his tea and Parle-G biscuits in a way familiar to millions of other Indians, while on a flight from Bengaluru to New Delhi.

Journalist YP Rajesh, who first posted it to Twitter, wrote: "My fellow passenger on a @IndiGo6E BLR-DEL flight this week... Billionaire Rahul Bhatia, Promoter & MD, IndiGo, enjoying his Parle-G dipped in tea."


"Shows you don't have to be Richard Branson or V Mallya to build a successful airline with 57% market share," Rajesh went on to say.

Bhatia's picture won several hearts on Twitter. Both for his unbillionaire ways...

...and for him nailing that iconic combination.
