IndiGo, India’s preferred airline, today announced a strategic partnership with Kotak Mahindra Bank to introduce its first co-branded credit cards, as part of the IndiGo BluChip loyalty program.

Over the last three years, IndiGo has pursued a multi-pronged growth strategy, aiming to evolve from a domestic low-cost airline to a global player with a carefully crafted service offering tailored to the needs of today’s aspirational traveller. The pursuit of this strategy has seen IndiGo push for international expansion, fleet diversification, launch a tailor-made business product —IndiGoStretch —and forge multiple global partnerships.

As part of its growth strategy, IndiGo launched the BluChip loyalty program last year. This free-to-join program enables members to easily earn points (“BluChip”) that can be redeemed on any IndiGo flight, with no blackout dates. The response to the IndiGo BluChip program has been extraordinary, with already 3.5 million registered members in the short period since launch.

Aimed at elevating the travel and lifestyle experience of IndiGo customers, the new co-branded credit cards enable members to accelerate earning IndiGo BluChips through everyday purchases and other expenses and allow seamless redemption on IndiGo flights.

Pieter Elbers, Chief Executive Officer, IndiGo, said: “Through IndiGo BluChip, we strive to offer unmatched loyalty benefits to our loyal customers, and this partnership with Kotak Mahindra Bank is an integral part of our endeavour. This partnership empowers our customers to earn IndiGo BluChips on their everyday spending and redeem them seamlessly on flights across our domestic and international network. As IndiGo spreads its wings across the globe, we are sure that customers appreciate and enjoy the benefits of these credit cards as they travel across the globe with us.”

Commenting on the collaboration, Ashok Vaswani, MD & CEO at Kotak Mahindra Bank, said, “At Kotak, we are proud to deepen our long-standing partnership with IndiGo, an airline that has redefined travel for millions of Indians. This collaboration is built around a shared vision to make everyday banking more rewarding and travel more accessible. Through these co-branded credit cards, we are giving our customers a simple, powerful way to turn daily spends into memorable journeys.”
