Taking us back to his success story
The winner of ‘India Excellence Awards 2019’ shares that he also had to face certain problems during his flight training which posed a threat to becoming the youngest pilot in Asia. Bad weather or administrative paperwork delay threw challenges on his way but he says that these were also highlighted as the methods/ strategies in the write up thesis to World Records University UK.

But his own burning desire, sheer determination and undying motivation drove him to pursue a field as a pilot. The recipient of ‘Asian Inspiration Awards’, Khooshvin is an utterly focused, motivated, determined person who carries a sheer dedication to pursue his passion. His foremost aim is to establish his name and help the community find a possible passion in Aviation. He believes he is on his way to fulfill his dreams soon by releasing a book on the Physics of Flight and Human Factors as well as a Future mentorship / learning platform in Aviation.
