Aero SpaceSocietyof India
The society behind the Indian Institute of Aero Space Technology and Management, Kompally, Secunderabad, since 1994. Accredited Centre of Aerospace, Aeronautics, Maintenance and Allied Core Engineering.
Dr. G. Satyanarayana
President
Dr. G. Satyanarayana leads the Aero Space Society of India and the Indian Institute of Aero Space Technology and Management with an unwavering commitment to aeronautical excellence and operational discipline. As President, he views aviation education not merely as academic instruction, but as the systematic forging of absolute resilience and functional command. Under his guidance, the institution treats every curriculum module—from foundational aerodynamics to complex aerospace management—as a critical framework where clarity defines action. His visionary leadership ensures that cadets do not just learn protocol, but internalize a culture of safety, precision, and situational awareness that will endure throughout their lifelong careers in the global airspace.
From 1994 to today
The route so far, from the society’s own records: dated photographs, the Andhra Pradesh certificate and the letters it received.

Awards and achievements
Our pursuit of flawless execution and educational integrity has consistently been validated on prestigious national and international platforms. Dr. Satyanarayana’s transformative contributions to aerospace education were notably honored at the Asia Education Summit 2015, recognizing the institute's dedication to building a coherent and world-class safety system. Domestically, the institution's profound impact on space science awareness was celebrated with wide acclaim by the Government of Andhra Pradesh during the State Level Ceremonial Parade for our technological demonstrations.
These accolades reflect a philosophy that values structural rigor over shortcuts, serving as a testament to our ongoing mission to elevate technical proficiency to its highest standard.
Since our establishment in 1994, we have successfully bridged the critical gap between theoretical analysis and applied aerospace engineering, forging robust pathways for aspiring aviators. Beyond launching the pioneering Indian Institute of Aero Space Technology and Management, Dr. Satyanarayana spearheaded the creation of the National Aerospace Museum Exhibit and the groundbreaking "Skill Africa" initiative, taking our instructional blueprint to an international scale. By consistently aligning our training with the stringent standards of regulatory bodies like the DGCA, FAA, and ICAO, we have cultivated an environment where cadets adapt seamlessly to any challenge, turning rigorous simulations into the functional, decisive skills capable of saving lives.

Global partners
Our international alliances are constructed with the same intention and discipline that define our flight training, ensuring our cadets are prepared for the complexities of a borderless aviation industry. We have established formalized partnerships with global entities—including strategic Memorandums of Understanding with the Maluti-A-Phofung Local Municipality in South Africa—to drive the "Skill Africa" initiative and expand the horizons of aerospace education.
By collaborating with international state premiers, civil aviation authorities, and allied engineering leadership, we ensure that our curriculum remains resilient, relevant, and continually updated to reflect the evolving demands of global airspace protocols.
