Captain Imran Tom

FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR & GROUP MD, TOM MANAS GROUP

What are some of the things you are passionate about?

I love flying. I am an avid aviator and passionate about flying. Hence being a pilot gives me the level of discipline required for a certain mission and it develops me as a person.

What drives you to achieve the things that are important to you?

I’ve always been self-motivated in the things I pursue, having said that, passion has always been the driving force.

What is your philosophy in life?

I live by words of wisdom and quotes. One, ‘the biggest risk is taking no risk’. Two, ‘it’s not how hard you can hit, but how hard you can take a hit and still move forward’.

How do you define success?

Success to me is a neverending process. I define success not on material and or a qualification one holds but the goal one sets. As long as you have a goal which is important and meaningful to you and that you achieve it, you are successful to me.

August Man Malaysia is a magazine for the discerning gentleman, what makes a gentleman in this era?

I believe a gentleman regardless of the era should have good manners, courteous conduct and represent himself well in society, therefore carrying himself in an articulate manner.

Describe your sense of style.

Well, it depends on the occasion but mostly casual.

The A-Listers is about experiences. Describe your ultimate experience.

As I’ve only had my first experience in a photo shoot which was a very exciting, heartthrobbing experience, I can’t say that it is the ultimate just yet. Nevertheless, I definitely cherish the moment and opportunity given. I am looking forward to an adventure with August Man Malaysia.
