I came to the United States to pursue the American Dream. Sky Bird Travel & Tours began in a small Detroit office in 1976. In 2020, we now have offices across the county including Atlanta, Chicago, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., as well as international offices in Toronto, Mumbai, and Manila. We have the distinction of being the largest travel wholesaler in the US. As Chairman, I oversee the issuing of more than $700 million USD in airline tickets from over 90 airline partners. In addition, Sky Bird Group holds investments in a number of verticals including real estate and technology. As a trusted community travel partner, I felt compelled to give something back to that community. In 2005, I founded the Jaya Rehabilitation Center in Gujarat, India which won the National Government Award for Best Rehabilitation Center for our efforts of providing prosthetic treatment to those in need. In 2020, Sky Bird launched major upgrades to our award-winning WINGS Booking Engine. Now travel agents can enjoy no-cap commissions on all aspects of travel: flights, hotels, car rentals, and insurance. This was all made possible by the hardwork and dedication of our incredible employees. Thank you to everyone on the Sky Bird team.
