IndiGo Airlines has issued a strong clarification regarding the backlash it faced after purported grooming policy documents went viral on social media. The airline described the documents, which included titles like 'MALE POISE.pdf' and 'FEMALE POISE.pdf,' as 'incorrect' and 'fabricated.' These documents allegedly banned certain religious symbols while accommodating others, leading to public outrage and calls for a boycott. IndiGo's statement emphasized its commitment to an inclusive workplace, stating that the safety and well-being of its crew and customers are top priorities. The controversy erupted on April 24th, following a post by X user @AnuDagar, and is reminiscent of recent crises faced by other companies, including Lenskart and Air India, which also dealt with backlash over outdated grooming guidelines. IndiGo has urged the public to refrain from sharing unverified information and pivoted the discussion toward its adherence to global best practices.
