I am based in London but originally from Bombay. Just completed my PPL in the UK and now very keen on setting up a GA related business in India. There are about 26 Flying schools in India but apparently none of them are operational, from what I hear. I feel that the GA potential in India is vast and untapped. the target audience is typically people like you who want to hobby fly and have the resources available but don't know where to go.
i am not going to kid myself by thinking it is going to be easy but sure I can generate enough momentum for investors to sit up and take notice. Unfortunately, the flying bug has bitten me and I cannot go back to the normal world anymore.
In so far as flying training in India is concerned, I wouldn't touch any of schools with a very, very long barge pole. My cousin has been doing a lot of research on training schools in India and the outlook is dismal.
Let me know what your long term objectives are and I can possibly help.
