Only 3-4% of Indians fly today.”

Let that sink in for a moment.

For a country of 1.4 billion people, that number isn't a limitation.

It's an opportunity.

Episode 12 of Season 2 of The Innovators and Disruptors Collective Podcast is now live:

Decoding New Age Aviation in India with Akasa ft. Belson Coutinho

Joined by Belson Coutinho, Co-Founder & COO of Akasa Air, for a fascinating conversation on the future of aviation in India and what it takes to build for the next generation of flyers.

What I enjoyed most about this conversation was that it wasn't just about airlines.

It was about understanding consumer behaviour, building trust at scale, creating memorable customer experiences, and spotting opportunities where others see constraints.

We also discussed:

→ The evolution of Indian aviation

→ Building Akasa Air during unprecedented uncertainty

→ Customer obsession as a competitive advantage

→ AI and the future of travel

→ Why India's aviation growth story is still just getting started

When only 3-4% of a country's population flies, you're not building for today's market. You're building for tomorrow's.
