🎖️About the Commander🇮🇳

20+ Years of Service 🇮🇳

⚔️

🎖️ The Commander

Infantryman at heart, cyber strategist by trade. From commanding troops in Siachen to leading the Indian Army's CERT, my journey has always revolved around one idea — finding order in chaos.

🎯

🛡️ Current Mission

As Officer-in-Charge, CERT-Army, I lead the nation's defence cyber readiness program, steering initiatives in AI-enabled resilience, quantum security, and ethical digital transformation. I've authored national cyber policies, guided NSAB studies on AI and defence reform, and driven projects worth over ₹3,300 crore from vision to execution.

🧠

🔬 Research Focus

My research lies at the crossroads of Cyber Warfare, AI Ethics, and Quantum Technologies, exploring how ancient Indian frameworks of dharma and equilibrium can guide the design of responsible, future-ready systems.

💫 Core Philosophy

A soldier by instinct, a technologist by conviction — I believe that strategy, whether in code or command, begins with understanding the purpose behind the pattern.

Core Philosophy

Order in Chaos

Ancient Wisdom • Modern Technology • Timeless Balance

☸️

Dharma

Philosophical Pillar

Order in Chaos – Bridging philosophical balance with digital discipline.

Like Dharma, true security begins when order finds meaning in understanding.

A soldier by instinct, a technologist by conviction. I believe that strategy—whether in code or command—begins with understanding the purpose behind the pattern. Drawing from ancient Indian frameworks of dharma and equilibrium, I explore how timeless wisdom can guide the design of responsible, future-ready systems in an age of quantum computing and artificial intelligence.
