Tarannum Bhutani

I am a Senior Programme Manager and retired Wing Commander from the Indian Air Force with 14 years of leadership managing high-value aviation portfolios worth INR 1,300 Crore (~USD 156M). I directed concurrent mandates in programme management, technical operations, and people leadership, guiding cross-functional teams of 150+ to deliver complex, multi-stakeholder programmes on time and on budget with zero audit deviations.

My strengths include Agile and Waterfall delivery, risk and crisis management, supply chain optimisation, and process improvement using Lean Six Sigma. I led large national exercises, digital transformation (e-MMS) that improved resource efficiency by 15%, and delivered major infrastructure projects and maintenance programmes that achieved 80% asset availability and 100% operational readiness for a vintage fleet.

I am a disciplined crisis leader and strategic operator who builds governance, compliance, and performance cultures. I seek to channel military-grade execution discipline and people development experience into senior programme, operations, or transformation roles in complex organisations.
