I guess it would be no surprise from whom Air Asia India will source their catering
Even the tea and coffee on board will be provided by TATA beverages
Call centre for booking of tickets and customer queries might be handled by Tata Consultancy Services BPO arm as well as design , hosting and maintenance of the airline website and all associated IT services will be maintained by TCS
Ground support vehicles can be provided by TATA motors
Communication requirements like Internet connections , telephone lines etc can be provided again by TATA
