The Establishment of Fleetwings Academy
Fleetwings Academy was founded with the vision to address a significant gap in industry-ready vocational training. The leading man, Kranti Patnaik, who comes from a successful background in the asset management and precious jewelry industry, observed the lack of practical, job-orientated education in India’s fastgrowing sectors. This insight led to the birth of Fleetwings Academy – a space where real-world experience meets structured learning. What started as a dream to empower youth has evolved into a growing platform preparing the next generation of professionals.
Building a High-Performing Team
The dedicated team at Fleetwings Academy was built on passion and purpose. In the early stages, Kranti brought in experienced professionals from the fields of aviation, shipping, cyber intligence, and education. Young, motivated individuals who believed in the academy’s mission were also hired to complement the team.
The academy focuses on team synergy, skill enhancement, and continuous learning. From trainers to administrative staff, everyone is part of a growthdriven culture that values collaboration, innovation, and accountability.
The Major Leadership Lessons
Kranti says his most valuable lesson has been knowing that “Leadership is about listening more than directing.” Initially, he used to believe that a leader needs to have all the answers. However, over time, it became clear that the idea generally comes from the team. This realisation has completely transformed the approach’s leadership style and turned it into an empathetic, inclusive, and open-minded approach. By listening more and directing less, he has been able to enable faster innovation and stronger team relationships.

The team at Fleetwings embrace new technology to keep the training methods up to date.
