We fly the world's aircraft. We do not build them yet. My message at the ET Now Machinist Aerospace And Defence Summit 2026, Hyderabad.

My debut as a panel speaker, shared with the leaders of TISA Aerospace, ADSL, Jeh Aerospace and BluJ Aerospace, moderated by Shreyas Raman of BCG. Glad to @ETNOWlive, ET Now Machinist and @FTCCI_India for the stage.

Build, rather than buy. That was my message at #INNOPROMIndia 2026 in New Delhi, speaking at the UAC session.

India is becoming the world's third-largest aviation market, yet hundreds of towns still wait for their first flight. UDAN has flown 1.5 crore+ (15 million) passengers in 9 years. UDAN 2.0 adds 120 new destinations with nearly Rs 29,000 crore (USD 3 billion+) behind it.

The demand was always there. What was missing was the right aircraft. With UAC, Flamingo Aerospace is on a phased path to localise and industrialise the IL-114-300 in India. From buyer of aircraft to builder of them. Make in India, make for the world. 🇮🇳🤝🇷🇺

My gratitude to Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji & Hon'ble Minister of Civil Aviation Shri @RamMNK ji, the Government of India and the Government of Russia.

Grateful also to have joined the Indian delegation, alongside the Hon'ble Minister, in discussions with the Russian delegation.
None of this happens alone with the support of my parents, partners, advisors and investors.

A truly blessed moment. 🙏
India can build what the world flies. This is only the beginning.

DONE DEAL: 🇷🇺 & 🇮🇳 Pen Agreement For IL-114 Civilian Aircraft

Russia's United Aircraft Corporation has agreed to supply the aircraft to two Indian firms so they can learn how to produce the planes themselves. The move signals that 🇮🇳-🇷🇺 ties are "doing great" in civil aviation, and also shows that India is "moving ahead in its game of indiginisation," RT Correspondent @rujutathete reports.

80 Years of Independent India 🇮🇳

15 October 1932. A Puss Moth leaves Karachi with the mail. At the controls, the man who owned the airline, holding India’s pilot licence number 1. Indian aviation started that morning.

JRD Tata was born 122 years ago today. Happy Birthday sir.

The conversations shaping aviation this week remind us that progress isn’t measured only by new orders—it’s measured by every milestone that brings safe, reliable aircraft closer to service.

#Aerospace #FutureOfFlight #IL114300

[Flamingoaerospace @Flamingoaero]

The IL-114-300 continues to demonstrate steady progress—from public showcase to certification and production planning. Regional turboprops remain critical to improving connectivity while supporting efficient operations across shorter routes.

#IL114300 #RegionalAviation

[Flamingoaerospace @Flamingoaero]

The IL-114-300’s type certification marks an important milestone for regional aviation. Certification is the culmination of years of engineering, testing, and regulatory compliance—bringing the aircraft one step closer to commercial operations.

#IL114300

[Flamingoaerospace @Flamingoaero]

As #Farnborough2026 concludes, one message is clear: global demand for aerospace continues to grow, but so does the need for resilient supply chains, innovation, and engineering excellence. The future of flight will be built through collaboration across the industry.
