G. R. Gopinath: The Man Who Made India Fly Born in a remote village in Karnataka, G. R. Gopinath grew up surrounded by poverty but was inspired by his father’s determination to educate him. After serving in the Indian Army and fighting in the 1971 war, he left to pursue his entrepreneurial dreams. Starting as a farmer, he innovated silk farming and even won a national award. But Gopinath's vision was larger. In 2003, he launched Air Deccan, India’s first low-cost airline, aiming to make air travel accessible to the masses. The journey was not smooth. He faced funding challenges, regulatory hurdles, and skepticism from an aviation industry dominated by luxury airlines. Despite this, Gopinath’s relentless spirit turned Air Deccan into a phenomenon, connecting smaller towns to major cities and empowering millions to fly for the first time. Though Air Deccan later merged with Kingfisher Airlines, Gopinath’s story remains one of resilience and innovation.
