Career in Aviation After 12th: What Gaurav Taneja, Captain Mohit Teotia, and Captain Arveen Kaur Want Students to Know Before Choosing This Path

All three speakers emphasized this. Captain Mohit Teotia showed that communication and storytelling build passenger trust. Gaurav Taneja explained that emotional control is more important than speed. Captain Arveen Kaur stressed that discipline and mental strength are non-negotiable. Aviation requires technical knowledge – but the professionals who succeed are those who also develop emotional intelligence, communication skills, and leadership.

Captain Kaur rebuilt her career after Go Airlines shut down. Gaurav Taneja was fired and built a ₹37+ crore empire. Captain Teotia spent 20 years chasing a childhood dream before reaching the cockpit. Every aviation career includes pauses, detours, and failures. Students who understand this before entering the field are better equipped to handle it.

Taneja emphasised that college is the safest place to fail and learn. Captain Teotia showed that communication skills are safety-critical in the cockpit. Captain Kaur encouraged reading, public speaking, and continuous learning. A BBA Aviation programme that develops these skills alongside aviation management knowledge prepares students more completely than technical training alone.

A BBA in Aviation, Hospitality, Travel & Tourism Management at Parul University prepares students for multiple career tracks:

• Cabin crew and flight attendant roles with domestic and international airlines.
• Airport management – operations, security, ground handling, terminal management.
• Airline operations – scheduling, revenue management, customer service.
• Travel and tourism management – tour operations, hospitality management, event management.
• Aviation safety and security – compliance, risk assessment, regulatory coordination.
• Cargo management – logistics, supply chain, and freight operations.

The programme includes practical training inside a mock aircraft, giving students hands-on experience with in-flight service, safety demonstrations, and passenger management before entering the industry.
