Lieutenant Colonel Vineet Kumar is a “scholar warrior” who has spent two decades navigating the volatile terrain of international peacekeeping and high-altitude military command. An alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad and Jawaharlal Nehru University, he seamlessly blends strategic operational leadership with deep academic and philosophical inquiry.
Having trained elite troops in the rugged altitudes of Siachen, Mhow, and Port Blair, and instructed UN peacekeepers across over 50 nations, Vineet applies the strict discipline of military crisis composure to emotional survival and human connection.
