Colonel Neeraj Bakhshi is a decorated soldier, a recipient of the prestigious Sena Medal for Gallantry, and a veteran United Nations Peacekeeper who has served in some of the world's most volatile regions.

As a Colonel (Retired) from the Indian Army, he has experienced leadership not as an abstract concept but as a daily, life-or-death practice — where decisions made in split seconds carry consequences that echo for years.

Beyond his military career, Col. Bakhshi has emerged as a respected Defence Analyst, commentator, and voice on issues of national security, leadership, and resilience in complex environments.

His TEDx talk at PCTE will translate battlefield wisdom into life lessons — on discipline, decision-making, and the kind of courage that everyday situations demand of us.
