Three years ago, Bhandari left the world of finance behind to establish his own operations. This shift has seen the ex-Swiss private banker take to the skies, acquiring his private pilot license and partnering with a jet chartering company to work on his latest venture.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I left the world of banking at the end of 2017,&#8221; explains former\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ktvn.com\/story\/44311413\/ex-swiss-private-banker-ashish-bhandari-shares-crucial-traits-for-a-career-in-finance\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/ashishbhandaribanker.com\/\">banker Ashish Bhandari<\/a>, speaking from his home in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. For many years, Bhandari had focused on portfolio management, investment advisory, and estate planning, working predominantly with ultra-high-net-worth individuals.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, the former banker has gone on to establish a total of three successful businesses in his native India. During this period, and alongside pursuing his personal business dreams, he&#8217;s also made time to indulge in a variety of his other passions in life. A lifelong aviation enthusiast, Bhandari has put a considerable portion of that time into flying.<\/p>\n<p>This focus on his love of flying is reflected in the former banker&#8217;s credentials as a private pilot. The proud holder of a private pilot license\u2014a form of recognized certification that allows holders to act as pilots in command of privately flown aircraft\u2014he now also regularly charters private jets.<\/p>\n<p>Embracing the world of private aviation has proved highly beneficial to <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@ashishbhandaridubai\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@ashishbhandaridubai\">Ashish Bhandari<\/a> during the ongoing global pandemic. &#8220;In 2020, I increasingly began to lease private jets for my business travel as most commercial flights had stopped,&#8221; he reveals. &#8220;In the process, I gained an in-depth understanding of the private jet industry,&#8221; adds Bhandari.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ashish Bhandari partners with jet chartering company for latest venture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now perfectly positioned to further benefit from his passion for aviation, ex-<a href=\"https:\/\/centurylink.net\/finance\/category\/press\/article\/icrowdnewswire-2021-7-15-ashish-bhandari-examines-tremendous-growth-of-tourism-in-dubai\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.crunchbase.com\/person\/ashish-bhandari-dubai\">banker Ashish Bhandari<\/a> has entered into a partnership with a successful jet chartering company based in India. &#8220;Starting with the leasing of private jets, I&#8217;ve quickly come to find myself positioned to embrace another new opportunity,&#8221; Bhandari explains.<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, Bhandari has invested in what is hoped will be another highly lucrative business venture for the ex-Swiss private banker.<\/p>\n<p>Licensed private pilot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wboc.com\/story\/44068669\/ashish-bhandari-discusses-microfinance-institutions-the-banks-of-the-future\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_ashishbhandari\">Ashish Bhandari<\/a> was particularly inspired to branch out into the leasing of private jets as airlines across the globe canceled commercial flights over growing concerns surrounding COVID-19. The former banker has since spoken about how flying via private jet has countless advantages over flying commercially. One of these advantages is overall safety, health-wise, he reveals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Flying via commercial aircraft comes with a number of health risks attributed to being in an enclosed space with dozens of people,&#8221; says the expert. &#8220;Yet, private jets transport much smaller groups,&#8221; he adds, wrapping up, &#8220;and it&#8217;s possible to fly solely with those closest to you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tags\">Tags: <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/tag\/373164\/\" rel=\"tag\">\u00a0<\/a> <\/p>\n<div><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/menafn\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Menafn<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/content-marketing\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Content Marketing<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/ips\/\" rel=\"category tag\">IPS<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/reportedtimes\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Reportedtimes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/financial-content\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Financial Content<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/pr-wirein\/\" rel=\"category tag\">PR-Wirein<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/extended-distribution\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Extended Distribution<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/icn-internal-distribution\/\" rel=\"category tag\">iCN Internal Distribution<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/heymuse.com\/former-banker-ashish-bhandari-takes-to-the-skies-with-private-pilot-license\/\">Former Banker Ashish Bhandari Takes to the Skies With Private Pilot License<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/heymuse.com\">Financial Market Brief<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ex-Swiss private banker Ashish Bhandari takes his love of aviation to the next level, both personally and professionally.
