He holds an MBA with Distinction from Warwick Business School and a degree in Marine Engineering and Naval Architecture from BITS Pilani.
He started in ship management at Maersk Line, Fleet Management Ltd. and ASM Maritime, where he improved asset uptime by 48%, cut sulphur emissions by 75% ahead of a fixed legal deadline with no lost operating days, and reduced operational errors by 38% through new procedures and change initiatives.
At CGI he defined the product vision and roadmap for an AI/ML solution in aviation Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul. His MBA research examined how leadership views shape AI adoption in aircraft maintenance, and his current independent work maps how grounded aircraft are returned to service. At Grant & Graham, Shobhit supports airlines, MROs and operators of complex assets with operational efficiency, process improvement and AI-led change.
Three parts of the airline operation where time on the ground turns directly into cost, and where Shobhit has done the work to understand what holds things up.
Defined the product vision and roadmap for an AI/ML solution in aviation MRO, projecting a 20% cost reduction and a 15% operational efficiency gain over three years. Identified five MRO inefficiencies from 15+ expert interviews to shape the commercial case.
Analysed IndiGo's aircraft turnaround process as a lean operations project at Warwick Business School, to identify further reductions in turnaround times.
Interviewed 12 practitioners, including airline AOG desk managers, AOG logistics specialists, MRO software product managers and engineers, and built the end-to-end AOG recovery process map, tested against 40 written responses from maintenance engineers and AOG staff.
From Maersk Line, one of the world's largest shipping companies, through ship management at Fleet Management Ltd. in Hong Kong and ASM Maritime in Amsterdam, and into consulting on AI for aviation MRO at CGI.
