Mapping Geopolitics & The Human Heart
Vineet Kumar is a "scholar warrior" who has transitioned from mapping the world's geopolitical terrain to navigating the complex landscape of the human heart. An alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad and Jawaharlal Nehru University, he seamlessly blends military leadership with deep academic 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 operations to emotional survival. His analytical precision is further sharpened by a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and a KPMG Independent Directors Certification, while his empathetic core remains grounded as a certified yoga instructor, trained theatre actor, and avid reader.
