Stocking shelves and delivering newspapers don't count.
And it isn't restricted to Kingfisher or the airline industry.
No business will want to hire anyone who doesn't have a documented clean break from the previous employer. Whilst this may be more or a requirement in India, it is commonplace everywhere.

I agree. To add to that, a lot of the recent manoeuvres seem to be leading to one result : they will wail it was beyond their control.
They will blame the pilots striking work, because they weren't paid, because the accounts were frozen, because… All the while very conveniently ignoring the fact that the freeze was precipitated because Kingfisher cheated both the exchequer and the employees (twice!) by chronically failing to pay their dues.
We could go even further back and, in searching for the true provenance of IT's troubles we will likely arrive at the day the me-too afflicted Fat One decided he needed another vanity project in the form of an airline.
He certainly seems determined to extract his pound of flesh. Although why he would want any more flesh defeats me.
