SPV Mentors

At SPV Mentors, we believe that true aerospace mastery lies in the perfect blend of theory and hands-on experience. Founded by Dr. Arvind Kumar Vig, a Doctor and retired Wing Commander from the Indian Air Force, SPV Mentors is India’s premier niche institute offering immersive training on Klimov TV2-117A Turboshaft Engines — the powerhouse behind Mi-series helicopters. SPV mentors are a team of passionate students, teachers, engineers, pilots, professionals, amateurs, scientists, researchers, and inventors with the mission of providing realistic and meaningful education training. We firmly believe in the marriage of theory with practical work, which seems to be lacking in Indian schools, colleges, and universities. Hence, our small effort towards nation-building! Our flagship 4 & 6-week Aerospace Engine Training Program is designed to prepare students for real-world aero-engineering and maintenance careers. Led by Dr. Vig and supported by Flight Lieutenant (Retd.)
