Experienced Pilot with a demonstrated history of working in the aviation and aerospace industry.Skilled in Operations Management & Planning, Helicopter Operations, Agile Methodologies, and Flight Training.Operations professional with proven track record of managing flight safety of an airbase. An aviation professional since 1997 with proven trzck record of safe flying operations across varied terrain within the country and UN operations in the Congo.I have been fortunate to work my way from the pure flying skills in the cockpit to managing flying operations in a flying squadron.I undertook aircraft type, operational area and role clearances of Squadron pilots apart from supervising their career growth. The most exciting and challenging phase has been teaching the absolute raw flight cadets the 'art and pure joy of taking it to the air-flying and the magic therein. I was fortunate to command a SAM squadron which was a totally enthralling experience-the sheer joy and beauty of  moving your ideas from the drawing boards to the field level execution and the ability to accept the results with a sense of responsibility; a real test of the Leader in you. My last two years in uniform was being responsible for entire gamut of flight safety operations of a major airbase and it was a continuation of what I learnt as a Commanding Officer. It was perhaps the perfect amalgamation of all that I had learnt and unlearned in the past, being executed in an environment that put at stake huge national resources and trained manpower. Twenty four years of donning the blues has been life transforming journey - Skilling me as an experienced aviator, an adept operations manager,  safety management specialist, leader of men and women willing to execute your command at all costs and above all as someone who is dexterous, patient, balanced, eager to learn and adapt, has tonnes of experience of agile decisions made in high pressure situations both operational and during communication of high profile national personalities. What  I  bring with me are Values, Integrity, Maturity, Adaptability, Commitment, Responsible and Sensible approach and keenness to learn.
