Capt. Amit Singh FRAeS Founder & Director
Safety Matters Foundation is India’s only independent aviation safety NGO — no ads, no paywall, no institutional agenda. It exists because of one conviction: that aviation safety depends on understanding systems, not assigning blame, and that understanding must be made public.
Capt. Singh has logged 18,000+ flight hours across three decades in command — on the Boeing 777 and Airbus A320 — and has spent that time studying the instrument no checklist fully captures: the human mind. How decisions collapse under pressure. How errors grow from invisible causes. How the stories that go untold shape the outcomes that shouldn’t happen.
A Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society (UK) and published author, he has presented at ISASI The Hague, the Flight Safety Foundation in Singapore, EATS Berlin, and WATS Orlando. His writing has appeared in The Aeronautical Journal.

Our Mission
mindFly exists to make aviation safety understandable, accessible, and useful — beyond the cockpit, beyond the regulator, and beyond the accident report.
Through the mindFly Blog (500+ articles), the mindFly Katha podcast (46+ episodes), peer-reviewed research, and India’s only anonymous aviation safety reporting portal, we work to ensure that every error is understood in context, every system failure is examined without blame, and every voice in the cockpit has a channel to be heard.
We also believe that rigorous institutions require rigorous memory. Our parallel work in cultural history — recovering the heritage of the Varaha Rajputs — reflects the same conviction: facts matter, evidence matters, and what is forgotten cannot be learned from.
