Vivek Bhattarai is the current Chief Operations Officer and the co-founder of Maruthsakha Aerospace and Aviation Private Ltd. After completing his graduation in Computer Science, he joined a Bangalore based IT company Microland, as a Network Consultant. After a short stint with the company his entrepreneurial instincts told him to head back to his native place of Sikkim to learn the art of business. First he joined his family business, which was a fuel distribution outlet at Gangtok and helped it grow by working actively as an Assistant Manager. In 2013 he came back to Bangalore and joined an MBA program in Entrepreneurship at Jain University. The course helped him sharpen his business skills more and also gave him opportunity to visit countries such as China, Hong Kong, England, Germany, Netherlands, Italy & Spain on Industrial Visits. Meeting people at different Business Networking sessions and conferences such as "Silicon Valley comes to the UK" at Cambridge University expanded his vision on the opportunities that existed and he felt it was the right time to start up. While studying his MBA he met Bhargava, the current CEO of Maruthsakha Aerospace and Aviation, who was also studying at Jain University. Both of them shared a good rapport from their first meeting and had a common interest in the Aerospace industry which led to forming the company together.
