Reyo Augustine, a former Indian Air Force pilot with over 750 flying hours who led missions of up to 60 aircraft and even piloted leaders including the President and Prime Minister, pivoted to entrepreneurship in May 2025. Inspired to bring world-class endurance races to India, he enrolled in LaunchPilot’s Global Startup MBA. The program’s hands-on mentorship, global immersions, and outcome-first approach enabled him to form a core team, secure a venue for his first event in February 2026, and initiate talks with Kerala Tourism and M.S. Dhoni’s family office. LaunchPilot, founded in 2023, has trained 150+ students, 60–70 of whom are now building their own startups. (PC: Startuppedia)
