Biography

Kanika Tekriwal is the Co-founder and CEO of JetSetGo Aviation Services, widely recognized as the pioneer of India’s private aviation ecosystem. Starting her aviation journey at 17, she envisioned making private flying more transparent, accessible, and customer-centric. Despite early challenges, including a battle with cancer at 22 and launching JetSetGo with just $100, Kanika’s determination transformed the company into India’s largest private jet and helicopter fleet operator—often called the “Uber of the skies.” Under her leadership, JetSetGo has revolutionized luxury air travel through technology, innovation, and customer-first experiences, achieving multi-million-dollar revenues and redefining aviation standards in India. Now, she is spearheading the future of mobility with air taxis and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, unlocking the skies for everyday transportation. Honored with the National Entrepreneurship Award and featured in Forbes 30 Under 30 and BBC’s 100 Most Inspirational Women, Kanika exemplifies resilience, vision, and disruptive leadership.
