Early Life and Career
Sabeer Nelli’s entrepreneurial spirit was evident from an early age. He owned a cooking gas shopduring his 12th grade and farmed potatoes during his 9th and 10th grades, filling an 18 wheeler truckload. Despite being teased by his classmates and being nicknamed “Mango Man” for selling mangoes at school and hiding from teachers, he sold candies on the side of the road during a two-month summer vaccation in 5th grade. His parents encouraged him not to let others’ options affect his social standing, and these experiences taught him valuable lessons that would serve him well in his future endeavors.
Career in Aviation
After obtaining a commercial pilot’s license, Sabeer’s career in aviation was cut short due to hearing issues that led to his disqualification from first-class medical. This forced him to leave his passionate career as a commercial pilot and find a new path.
