16. (a) M. Thiagarajan, a pilot, was just 27 when he floated Paramount Airways,
based out of Madurai, which launched commercial flights on 19th October
2005. This makes Thiagarajan the youngest airline CEO in the world. At
the moment, Paramount Airways operates only in the south. Next year,
Thiagarajan wants to launch it in the West. Two years after that, in
2008, he plans to enter the North and the East. We want to dominate the
West by 2009 and become a national player by 2011’, he says. A business
management graduate, he entered the family business as a third-
generation entrepreneur and established his own Paramount Mills before
starting the aviation business. If the low-profile entrepreneur has donned
as aggressive profile, it is because ‘we were making the right kind of
noise and we are now leaders with 26 percent market share in the south
Indian market’, Thiagarajan says. ‘Now it is time to have a presence in
western and central India.’ Thiagarajan may have eschewed a less-than-
flamboyant lifestyle in his personal life, but where Paramount Airways is
concerned, he chose a ‘high-value carrier business model targeting the
premium segment of customers with a business ad first class
configuration’ using Brazil-made Embraer aircraft. More recently, Delhi-
