Ravi Ajit Hutheesing (born 30 May 1971) is an American keynote speaker,[1] cultural diplomat serving the US Department of State,[2] singer-songwriter, and former guitarist for the band Hanson,[3] writer, and pilot.
He is the youngest son of Ajit Hutheesing, founder, chairman and chief executive officer of International Capital Partners Inc, and a member of the Nehru-Gandhi family.
"The Raviator" created a niche market within aviation by performing concerts at air shows, becoming the spokesman for products targeting pilots, and developing a signature model folding guitar to fit in small airplanes.
[7] Hutheesing partners with the Shanti Bhavan Children's Project in Tamil Nadu India, and is working with The George Foundation to spearhead the creation of more schools for the poorest of the poor ("untouchables" caste).
He believes that such exchanges promote world peace by enabling youth to bond naturally across geographical and socioeconomic boundaries rather than to succumb to implicit biases formed by institutional agendas.
