Bid

'Welcome Back, Air India', wrote Ratan Tata in a viral Twitter post, minutes after Tata Sons ‐ the original owners of the airline -- won a bid of Rs 18000 crore to bring the 'Maharaja' back into its fold.

219 Air India employees are bidding for a 51% stake in the company. This is the first time in corporate history that employees of a public-sector undertaking have decided to be part of the bid process.
