Tanaji Takve (TJ)
Chief Flying Instructor and Founder
TJ has over 28 years of flying experience and is the driving force behind Paragliding Mantra. TJ transitioned into paragliding with unmatched dedication and has since trained thousands of pilots across India and beyond. He is an internationally certified Acro and SIV instructor with a License No. 9 from APPI International, allowing him to issue globally recognized pilot licenses. His passion for flying is only matched by his passion for teaching, from beginners experiencing their first takeoff to advanced pilots pushing the limits with acro and cross-country flights. When he’s not flying, you’ll find him mentoring youth in remote Himalayan regions, sharing stories from the sky, or quietly observing students at takeoff, ready to offer advice that elevates their flight to the next level.
