Profile bio
About Group Captain (Dr) Venkatesh Chari, (Retd), Phd
Aviation Leader | Strategic Planner | Safety Expert | SME for Aviation SoftwareA former military pilot with 31+ years of aviation experience, I specialize in strategising operations with KPIs, safety compliance, aviation software development, aviation law, development of policies, leadership development, and establishing processes. I have helmed numerous policies on operations, training & aviation safety. I have also played a key role in training more than 300 employees in IAF and in commercial aviation, on leadership, communication, aviation safety, EQ, HFACS and personal digital data protection. Presently as AVP (Operations) at Laminaar Aviation Infotech (LAI), and as an SME, I lead software development, implementation, client management, product innovation, and influence global business development. My software focuses on SMS, fight data analysis, audits and regulatory compliance. I have authored the data protection policy of LAI. Previously, as Deputy Chief of Aviation Safety (India Chief, designate), at Blue Dart Aviation (BDA), I coordinated with govt regulatory authority, managed SMS, FOQA, flight data analysis, audits, and safety training, fostering a culture of safety across pan India BDA bases.As an IAF pilot, qualified instructor and examiner, I have 6,000+ accident-free flying hours, with a perfect safety record and highest pilot skill category. While in IAF, I specialized in flying over challenging terrains near Chinese border & to Lakshadweep, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, and aerial drops in formation. I was entrusted with testing of An-32 aircraft after major factory servicing and repairs in India and abroad (Kiev) which entailed contract management & liaison with Indian embassies, foreign governments, and key stakeholders to ensure operational success for IAF. My military service shaped my leadership & strategic planning skills which were tested in high-stakes operations like Kargil war, and national disaster relief efforts like Tsunami (2004), floods, and earthquakes, thereby demonstrating my crisis management abilities. I have led pan India operations involving 75 aircrafts of different types, transformed training programs saving valuable time and improving the operational efficiency, and played a key role in Aero India air shows.With a PhD in Strategic Management, my research continues in aviation safety, quality, operations and use of technology in aviation. With a passion for developing future leaders and high-performing teams, I am always open to connecting with professionals and agencies to explore new opportunities.
