Student Pilot License (SPL) & Private Pilot License (PPL) are intermediate stages of Commercial Pilot License Training.
You will be issued an SPL by the flying club after some hours of ground classes and an internal exam. Thereafter you shall become eligible to start flying training.
Its very simple logic SPL - PPL - CPL.
YOU CAN SKIP PPL AS IN ANY CASE YOU ARE ASPIRING FOR A HIGHER LICENSE, WHICH WILL ALLOW YOU MORE PRIVILEGES THAN PPL.
For becoming a commercial pilot, there is a specific eligibility criteria, which you should first be aware of. This is decided on what subjects have you taken in class 12th. It requires PCM to be a pilot. And, even if you have not opted for the same, then you can appear separately for these subjects and become eligible. Further, you should be aware that you are medically fit to be a pilot, so I would suggest you to visithttp://www.dgca.nic.in/medical/medical-ind.htmandgototheclass 2nd examiners tab to find out doctors who will examine you for initial fitness. You can visit any doctorate from the list as per your convenience. Once you are done with Class 2nd medical, find out a suitable flying club for you as per your convenience. You can fly in India or abroad. I would suggest you fly in India. Besides finding the club, be aware that you will have to appear for:
1. Air Navigation
2. Aviation Meteorology
3. Air Regulations
4. Aviation Technical
5. Aircraft Specific
6. Radio Telephony
Here, 1-5 are conducted by DGCA and 6 is conducted by WPC. Prepare for these subjects and appear, as exams are conducted every quarterly. For preparation, flying club will help you or there are private instructors available in metro cities as well. You will fly for 200Hrs + Clear DGCA and WPC exams + Clear Class 1st medical, then you shall get your CPL. The next license is ATPL, which you shall be able to apply for once. You will then have to probably fund or self-sponsor your type rating on whatever fleet you are selected in an airline. Then, you finally get a job as a pilot. I hope the process is well explained to you. CPL is an expensive affair. It might cost you around Rs.18-20 Lacs for flying + DGCA exams Rs.500/- each exam + Medicals for Rs.10, 000 + endorsements and license issue fees around Rs.25k + Type Rating around Rs.15 Lacs. So, decide wisely before you enter the field.

Dear Ritansh,
Fancy a career in luxury management.
A non-existent sector till just a few years ago, luxury brand management now offers exciting career opportunities. It requires an understanding of heritage brands and the ability to network with niche market segments.
Luxury brand management can best be described as an interdisciplinary subject that applies time-tested management practices to businesses that offer premium services. The primary role of a luxury brand manager is to understand the heritage and history of the brand and to associate the Brands DNA values with a potential set of clients. This person is chiefly responsible for the sometimes difficult task of keeping the brand popular while retaining its exclusivity i.e. ensuring that the brand remains a popular and favoured choice amongst both, the aspirers of luxury in terms of desire, and the elite in terms of purchase.
Luxury has permeated several segments including cars, fashion, wines, chocolates, spa services, jewellery, leather accessories, watches, signature pens and more on the Indian shores, creating the need for luxury educated brand managers.
Presently as per my knowledge, S P Jain offers the course in India for this.
On successful completion of the program, you will be awarded a certificate of completion from SP Jain School of Global Management and an international Master in Global Luxury Good & Services Management. (MGLuxM) degree from MIP Politecnico di Milano Graduate School of Management, Milan.
I hope this would suffice. All the best and god bless you.
