Biography

Ameerh Naran is the CEO of Vimana Private Jets and Founder and CEO of Naran Automotive, the company behind the world’s first four-seater hypercar.

A successful entrepreneur, Ameerh’s idea of designing his own supercar was dreamt up at the age of just four. All ventures throughout his dynamic business career have led up to establishing Naran Automotive. The Naran Hyper Coupe is a collection of 49 unique and exclusively hand-crafted, high-performance cars that are tailored to the driver’s needs. Manufactured in Germany, the supercar is nothing less than art on wheels and delivers 1048-horsepower from a 5-litre twin turbo engine with an innovative dynamics system and GT3 racing car technology.

Before launching Naran Automotive, Ameerh made his mark with his other brainchild, Vimana Private Jets, where he still leads as CEO. The company is an independent broker with access to over 5,000 aircraft across the world. It is one of the leading private jet services with a steady annual growth of 250% since it was founded in 2016. Vimana operates 24/7 365 days a year and offers unrivalled customer service with a focus on discretion to their global client base of VIPs.

Ameerh started his career in aviation at Blue Star Jets, where he made a significant contribution to the company’s growth as Managing Director of Africa and Asia.

Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Ameerh believes that his story can inspire many future entrepreneurs to follow their dreams as passionately and tenaciously as he has. Ameerh also makes it his mission to give back to the country in any way that he can and has created many jobs. His dream to build and design a world-class supercar led him to the University of Sussex where he read Product & Automotive Design.
