Detail
Ex-Army Captain | Writer, Speaker & Mentor | Supply Chain & Operations Leader | Defence Journalist
Delhi, India
I've managed contracts worth ₹36 Crores and led operations at 21,167 feet on the world's highest battlefield. I build systems — and stories — that work when failure isn't an option.
As a Short Service Commissioned Officer in the Indian Army's Service Corps, I spent five years running supply chain operations, procurement governance, fleet management, last-mile logistics, and cross-functional team leadership across India's most demanding terrain — from the Siachen Glacier to India's North East.
Alongside the uniform, I bring a unique blend of Media expertise. I studied Journalism before I got commissioned, serving as the Design Lead for various publications during college. In the Indian Army, I produced a variety of content - articles, videos, infographics - across all my appointments. Post-service, I have written and bylined opinion columns for The Indian Express, ABP Live, and Republic World; done on-camera commentary and panel appearances on defence and geopolitics.
As a Military Veteran and a trained journalist, I have ventured in diverse areas of work with a singular intention of driving Impact - An Operations Consultant, a grassroots programme founder (Project Togetherness), a defence subject-matter contributor to media platforms, and a mentor to the next generation of Defence aspirants.
