I'M
CAPT.GAURAV 

From flying airliners to business jets, chartering and trading aircraft, and serving in C-suite roles at the highest levels of the aviation industry, I’ve had the rare privilege of experiencing aviation from every angle , operational, strategic, and personal.

Today, I consult individuals, family offices, operators, and startups—helping them achieve success in aviation without the stress, waste, or steep learning curve.
Let’s simplify aviation, together.

Flying aircraft. Building aviation businesses.

PROJECT EXPOSURE

  • Aircraft procurements & delivery programs

I’ve seen how one good decision can protect a fortune and one uninformed move can silently drain it.
Aviation isn’t about the aircraft, it’s about the people who own them, the legacy they’re building, and the privacy and precision they expect. My goal is to make complex decisions effortless for those who demand the very best.

Trusted by owners , operators, brokers, management teams and boutique charter brands across global markets.

I work quietly, deliver privately, but let the results speak loudly.

Aviation, at its core, is about precision and trust.
