As head of corporate affairs for InterGlobe, Sharma will look after the company's business interests which include low cost carrier IndiGo and InterGlobe General Aviation which represents aircraft manufacturer Hawker Beechcraft in India. Apart from that Sharma will also look the company's other business interests which include development and management of hotels in partnership with the French major Accor and distribution of Travelport's Galileo GDS.
