Dear Friends, my extended IATO family as ever

Sub: Letter of thanks and gratitude

It was a gratifying four years for me as President IATO and this could not have been achieved without your rock solid support at every step. Whatever we could achieve was because of your positive feedback and empathy. I express my heartfelt thanks to all our Chapter Chairs, Co- Chairs and Regional Heads for making IATO a Pan India organization and aid in garnering substantial quality membership in their region. Every action for our valued membership was backed by our vibrant EC that helped me to take the correct road map in the interest of IATO. I am proud of an EC who tirelessly worked with me for the cherished membership stamped with dedication, perseverance and quantum result that our members translated in their landmark mandate on the 10th of May 2025.

I am grateful to the Media for giving IATO the remarkable Reach Frequency and Impact with their sustained coverage endorsing our efforts for the cause of our members.

The IATO Staff, my heart goes out to them for their 24x7 dedication, their coordinated efforts and contribution to the point representation of IATO at all relevant fora.

As I handover the service baton to Mr. Ravi Gosain and his brilliant team, I am confident of their super success that shall surpass all previous achievements in the toil for our backbone – our members.

My support to IATO and its members will continue as ever like before. I am just a phone call away to address any issue that our members will face to the best of my abilities.

Thank you and shall always remain a soldier of IATO!

Rajiv Mehra

Immediate Past President
