Hi, I'm Jay, A Military Veteran
From the Frontlines to the Boardroom
My journey began as an officer in the Indian Army, leading teams through high-stakes operations.
Every chapter-from military command to IIM Lucknow-has shaped my approach to strategy and adaptability.
I believe in turning challenges into opportunities, building resilient teams, and driving results.
