The Hunt for 300 Militants | Manipur Operations, Kashmir Operations, LOC | Brig Abhijit Chandra, SM

We are honoured to host Brig Abhijit Chandra, Sena Medal—a decorated Indian Army officer who spent decades serving in some of India's most challenging operational areas, from Manipur and the Indo-Myanmar border to the Line of Control, before going on to train future officers of the Indian Army. From leading high-risk operations in remote jungles… to commanding troops on the Line of Control… to mentoring the next generation of Army leaders… This is the untold story of life as an Indian Army officer. What is it really like to serve in conflict zones? How are complex military operations planned? What kind of leadership is needed when every decision matters? And what does it take to lead soldiers through some of the toughest terrains in India? In this candid and insightful conversation, Brig Abhijit Chandra shares: • His experiences during the peak of !nsurgency in Manipur • The realities of jungle operations and military leadership • Stories from the Indo-Myanmar border • Working alongside Special Forces during critical operations • Life and command on the Line of Control • The challenges of leading soldiers in demanding environments • The importance of trust, discipline, and teamwork in the Army • Lessons that every young leader can learn from military life • How decades of service shaped his leadership philosophy • Untold stories from one of the Indian Army's most experienced officers This episode is especially special because Brig Abhijit Chandra was Lt Col kaushalendra singh Commanding Officer during his service in Poonch.
