A Legacy Built on Aviation

Our connection with the aviation sector runs deep. The family of Adv Janak Chitre & Associates, our founding partner, played a pioneering role in India’s private aviation era by establishing Damania Airways in the early 1990s.

Founded by Parvez and Vispi Damania in 1992, the airline introduced international-level service standards to domestic air travel in India. Damania Airways quickly became known for its exceptional passenger experience and commitment to quality. That same vision for professionalism and excellence continues to guide our firm today.
