He was a specialist in Aerospace Medicine, (DIP) and ENT (MS) and was closely associated with the Institute of Aerospace Medicine. During his service career, he was closely associated with the management of Air Sickness among ab-initio flying trainees.

He is also associated with the development and fabrication of the Gimble Mounted Tumbling Device (GMTD) which was used for re-conditioning to motion stimulus in varying axes.

(22 Feb 1944 to 30 Jul 2018)

Gp Capt Gopalapillai Sreedharan Nayar, BSc MBBS MD (Med) Dip (Av Med) FAeMS, commonly referred to as ‘GS’ or ‘GS Sir’, was a graduate from the Armed Forces Medical College, Pune, a post graduate in Internal Medicine and Aerospace Medicine and a Fellow of the Indian Society of Aerospace Medicine.

He was associated with the specialty of Aerospace Medicine integrally as an eternal student, exemplary teacher, guide to students, and an examiner with the Bangalore University & RGUHS, a writer and doyen. His contributions in Space Medicine, Civil Aviation Medicine and Human Factors were path-breaking. He was a pioneer, a technology buff, a person who could visualize what the future holds and work towards it. His ideas and thoughts, which he penned and typed lucidly, were not only futuristic but rational and had the clarity emanating from logic and cogent reasoning which resulted in several changes in existing policies. He chose to embark on a second innings at a time when his first innings was unbeaten. In the second innings, he focused on areas of personnel wellness, operational safety, technology based solutions in medicine and had a foray as a medical entrepreneur. He was the Chairman and co-founder of Ojus AnyTimeMedicare Services Pvt. Ltd which deals with promoting predictive, preventive, proactive healthcare and wellness management, a concept which was dear to him and he helped evolve. He was an efficient doctor, specialist, manager, entrepreneur, mentor, friend, guide, teacher, gentleman and professional all rolled into one. He left for his heavenly abode at a young age of 74, while still working in his office, leaving a void that shall remain unfilled for posterity. He is survived by his wife and two children. His vision and thoughts shall remain guiding beacons for successive generations.
