SIMPLY FLY Paperback

"SIMPLY FLY: A Deccan Odyssey" is the inspiring autobiography of Captain G. R. Gopinath, a visionary entrepreneur who defied conventional paths to revolutionize Indian aviation. The book chronicles his remarkable journey from a humble village boy who rode bullock carts to becoming the founder of Air Deccan, India's first and largest low-cost airline, making air travel accessible to millions. Beyond the entrepreneurial triumph, Gopinath's narrative offers a gritty, honest account of his diverse experiences—from serving in the Indian Army and fighting in the 1971 war, to winning a Rolex award for sustainable silkworm farming, and navigating the complex world of business and politics. It's a testament to resilience, self-belief, and the power of an individual to rewrite history by daring to dream big and overcome immense challenges.
