‘Tata rahe mera dil’: Amul’s cartoon as Tata Group welcomes back Air India

The cartoon showed the Amul girl in the cockpit dressed as a pilot as the airline’s mascot — the Maharaja — bowed down with utmost respect. The celebratory cartoon sketch also included what resembled like Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran sitting in the co-pilot’s seat.

“Tata rahe mera dil,” the cartoon read with a tagline “In good hands”, in a nod to both their products as well as the aviation company going back to the Tata Group.

The Tata Group, which had placed the highest bid of Rs 18,000 crore in the Air India disinvestment, took over the airline from the government on Thursday. “We philosophically agree with the Prime Minister’s vision for the aviation sector, of making it affordable and ensuring it contributes to boosting ‘Ease of Living’ for citizens,” a statement from the company read after the takeover.
