To fly high, Takeoff! | Captain Tapesh Kumar | TEDxIIITBangalore

In this talk Captain Tapesh Kumar talks about his inspiring journey to become the youngest airline captain in 2018. He starts by talking about his hatred towards engineering and his struggle to prepare for the JEE entrance exam. He then talks about his experience of confessing to his parents that his interest is not in engineering, but in aviation. He shares with us an experience that every Indian student encounters in convincing their parents and relatives to take up a non-mainstream career. Captain Tapesh Kumar, known as Boeing Boy by his UA-cam fanbase, was the youngest captain in the world in 2018 at 25 years of age, qualified on Boeing and Airbus.
From being an under-confident, introverted person, Tapesh worked very hard on himself professionally and in all other speers of life to become a confident, amazing, and committed pilot. The pilot believes there are many things that we don’t realize when we are young, but sooner or later, we know what is right for us and work towards the same. Apart from aviation, he is into fitness modeling, running for marathons, and lifestyle vlogging. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
