Vajra Aviation Private Limited was founded in 2014 by decorated veterans of the Indian Air Force, who believed that military-grade discipline, precision and operational excellence could be the foundation of India's finest aviation training institute. What started as a vision became Bangalore's most trusted aviation academy.

Our founder, Gp Capt (Retd) Sunil Kumar, served over two decades in the IAF before establishing Vajra Aviation with a singular purpose: to bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world aviation standards. Every course, every module and every exam is crafted with the rigor that the aviation industry demands.

Today, Vajra Aviation is an ISO 9001:2015 certified institution, a proud partner of Aviotrace Swiss for EASA Part 66 training, and an affiliate of IANZL (International Aviation Academy of New Zealand). Our graduates fly with IndiGo, Air India, SpiceJet and work across India's premier MRO facilities.
