Helicopter Man comes to ISB

On Saturday, the Entrepreneurship club at ISB played host to the 'no-frills' hero, Capt.G.R.Gopinath, the pioneer of the low cost airline concept in India. It was the most stylish entry by anyone who has come to ISB so far. Capt. flew in his own chopper from Bangalore and spoke to us about his village upbringing in Karnataka, his stint with the army, his return back to his village farming, his sericulture business, his helicoptering ventures and finally the saga called 'Air Deccan'. It was truly inspiring to hear his story because he attributes all his success till date to just one thing 'perseverance'. He was truly a 'no-frills' man and we were privileged to listen to Chevalier de la legion d’Honneur (Knight of the Legion of Honour from the French Government)
