Dr. Sumeet’s books are the only Indian aviation texts our department recommends without reservation. Practical, current, and rooted in real experience.
I joined IIA after watching one of Sir’s seminars. Eighteen months later I’m flying with a major Indian carrier. That seminar changed my life.
A rare voice that speaks both to policy makers and to nineteen-year-olds dreaming of the skies. He shifts the room every time he’s on stage.
