MilesAhead
A day in Hyderabad with India's most obsessed points practitioners.
What happens in the room.
Five hours. Twenty-five people. Three acts.
Bring your current cards. We walk through what each one earns, what it does not, and what you should be holding instead. You leave knowing which card belongs where in your stack, and which ones to close before the next fee hits.
Flights, hotels, transfer bonuses. Live bookings on screen. The sweet spots that actually exist in India. Nothing generic, nothing recycled from a blog.
Open questions. Nothing off limits. Share your actual spend, your actual goal trip, your actual constraints. You get our unfiltered take on exactly what to do next. This is the hour most people say made the whole session worth it.
The practitioners in the room.
Not bloggers. Not influencers. Two people who have actually booked the cabins they teach.
Photographed onboard Singapore Airlines Suites, Singapore to Delhi, 2025.
Has booked Emirates First, Etihad Apartments, and Singapore Suites on points. Has helped 100+ Indians do the same. VP Marketing at HackerRank by weekday, redemption obsessive by weekend.
Photographed onboard Qatar Airways Qsuite, Miami to Doha, 2026.
Hotel loyalty ninja with suite access across Accor, Marriott Bonvoy and more. Has cracked upgrades, suite access, and VIP perks across the world's top chains. Knows how to climb to top-tier status without breaking the bank.
Every redemption discussed is one they have personally booked. No case studies from the internet.
The Quorum Hyderabad.
Saturday, 26 September 2026 · 9.30 AM to 3.30 PM
A considered setting for a day of focused conversation, live redemptions and the kind of questions best answered in the room.
Private. Quiet. Air-conditioned properly. The kind of room where a Centurion cardholder would feel at home and a spreadsheet would stay open on the projector.
Signature sulemaani to start, brunch mid-way, kadak irani chai to close. Proper food, not sad sandwiches. You come hungry. You leave full.
Saturday. Late September in Hyderabad. Outside, the last of the monsoon may still be hanging over the Deccan. Inside, it will be twenty-two degrees and impossibly calm.
Full arrival details go out to confirmed participants before the session.
What past attendees actually booked.
Three alumni from the last Miles Ahead, in their own words.
Miles Ahead was not about which card to use where. It was about mindset. How to think about points, how to cut through the noise. I went in with zero redemptions. Six months later, I took my wife to Japan entirely on points, flights and hotels. Four more redemptions since then.
Miles Ahead taught me how to get to Accor Platinum, and on my first trip using points, I got complimentary upgrades and paid about one-third of the actual cost. Also learned about seats.aero, which honestly changed how I plan travel.
Since attending Miles Ahead, Delhi in August 2025, I have flown Business Class round-trip to Vietnam on Singapore Airlines, Europe on Etihad for our anniversary, and booked Qatar Business Class to Masai Mara and Spain. Plus five nights at the JW Masai Mara. Before this, international Business Class was a dream. Now it is a spreadsheet. Full credit to Aadil & Dhimant!

If 26 September in Hyderabad does not work, join us in Vietnam for a slower, more immersive weekend of points, miles and exceptional company. A handful of seats remain.
