*Captain Sandeep Mansukhani (Rivaz House, Batch of 1994): Soaring Skies and Scaling Summits*

At Bishop Cotton School, we take immense pride in celebrating the remarkable achievements of our distinguished alumni. Among them stands *Captain Sandeep Mansukhani, a shining example of the Cottonian spirit—undaunted, disciplined, and ever-determined*.

An accomplished aviator flying the *Boeing 787 Dreamliner* for *Qatar Airways, Captain Mansukhani has also made his mark as an elite mountaineer, conquering some of the world’s most challenging peaks. His summits include **Mt. Kun, Stok Kangri, Mt. Elbrus, Kilimanjaro, and the crown jewel—Mount Everest. His mission to complete the **Seven Summits* reflects a life driven by courage, endurance, and relentless ambition.

Adding a deeply special touch to this story is the fact that *his son is a student at Bishop Cotton School*, continuing the legacy of excellence, character, and adventure—a testament to the enduring impact of a Cottonian education.

*A Message from Capt. Sandeep to Our Young Cottonians:*

“Bishop Cotton taught me to never quit, no matter how steep the climb or how far the finish line. Use these golden years to build resilience. Dream big, train hard, and most importantly—believe in yourself. BCS is not just a school; it’s a legacy. Wear it with pride.”

We are honoured to celebrate the journey of *Captain Sandeep Mansukhani, who truly lives the Cottonian motto—*Overcome Evil With Good—by reaching extraordinary heights, both in the skies and atop the world’s tallest mountains.

*From Shimla to the Summits—A Legacy That Inspires Generations.*
