Podcast Feature: Alok Anand on The Indian AvGeek – Charting the Future of Aviation Asset Management

When the worlds of aviation insight and industry leadership collide, the result is a conversation worth tuning into. Alok Anand, Chairman & CEO of Acumen Aviation, recently joined The Indian AvGeek podcast for a candid and insightful episode that sheds light on the dynamic forces shaping the global aviation landscape.

From Consultant to Asset Owner: Acumen’s Expanding Role

In this episode, Alok shares the story of Acumen’s evolution — from a trusted consultancy and advisory partner to an emerging niche asset owner. With its headquarters in Dublin and strategic offices worldwide, Acumen has redefined the boundaries of aviation asset management by combining technical depth with a digital-first mindset. Alok touches upon how Acumen’s unique model blends consultancy, digital products, and SPVs to create seamless solutions for lessors, investors, and airlines alike.

On Innovation and Digital Disruption

What sets Acumen apart? According to Alok, it's the company’s commitment to holistic asset intelligence. In an industry where data is abundant but insight is rare, Acumen's proprietary digital platforms — like SPARTA — deliver both clarity and control. The conversation explores how digital transformation isn't a buzzword at Acumen; it's a business imperative.

Market Trends, Headwinds, and What's Ahead

Alok brings his characteristic candour to a discussion on post-COVID recovery, shifting lessor dynamics, and how market cycles are influencing aircraft transitions. With 2025 poised to revive delivery and re-delivery activity, Acumen is strategically gearing up to support its clients through renewed operational demand — with a focus on scalability, readiness, and value.
