In a boost to youth employment in Meghalaya, IndiGo conducted a cabin crew recruitment drive in Shillong, selecting five candidates — including three Khasi women — from a pool of aspirants across the Northeast. The walk-in campus interview was held at the Don Bosco Youth Centre in Laitumkhrah in collaboration with the Emporium Skills Training Institute (ESTI). A total of 56 female candidates participated in the selection process.
Following multiple rounds of screening, the selected candidates were identified as Deilana Shallam, Mahi Sah, Cassandra War, Silveris Mary Lyndem, and Ritika. Officials said the recruitment drive reflects increasing industry engagement with skill development institutions in the region. This marks the second such cabin crew hiring initiative hosted at the Don Bosco Youth Centre under its partnership with ESTI.
The collaboration is part of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in September 2025 to provide employment-linked training in aviation, hospitality, and cruise services for youth in Meghalaya and the wider Northeast.
