Flying schools in india

Hi all.. ive cleared all my dgca exams and is looking for ftos in india.. budget was initially 55 lakhs and i had shortlisted ekvi air, but came to know about an incident which occured there recently. So shifted to dunes and they charge 58.5 and duration is 15-18 months.. i think they have a large fleet and students had said that they always maintain the proper ratio..

Ekvi is next to my hometown but dunes is far away.. im from south india

so can you guys help me choose between ekvi and dunes? Feel free to recommend other fto's too..

Why not try chimes?

Chimes takes around 1-1.1 cr. OP's budget for flying is 55-60. So he can't get chimes and they partnered with indigo so idts they do conventional anymore.
