Proven executive-level decision-making, crisis management, and strategic planning across the Indian Navy and Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP).

National Record Holder & Thought Leader

Recognized in the Golden Book of World Records for the longest river rafting expedition, and published author in leading national dailies on defense, CAPF policies, and education.

#3

Youth Mentor & Strategic Advisor

Certified career counselor guiding students and UPSC aspirants, and author of the upcoming book The 18 Pillars, blending military discipline with holistic leadership.

My career is built on a foundation of discipline, operational excellence, and a deep commitment to national service. From actively participating in Operation Vijay with the Indian Navy to commanding battalions of up to 1,200 personnel in high-altitude, sub-zero borders and anti-Naxal environments with the ITBP, I have successfully navigated complex, high-stakes challenges. Beyond tactical operations, I have spearheaded major national initiatives, including the historic 2,350 km Clean Ganga expedition. Today, I leverage this extensive background in risk assessment and strategic execution in the corporate sector, while dedicating my personal mission to empowering India’s youth through structured career counseling, competitive exam mentorship, and continuous advocacy for strong organizational leadership.
