# Vikas M V on Tal

## Headline

Operations & Program Management Leader \| Indian Army Major \(Infantry\) \| PMP® \| Large\-Scale Logistics, Project Delivery & Facilities Management

## About

I was commissioned into one of the finest Infantry battalions of the Indian Army in 2015 and spent the next decade leading people, operations, and large\-scale logistics across some of the most demanding environments in the world: the Line of Control at 17,000 ft, the Kashmir Valley during the abrogation of Article 370, active counter\-insurgency grids, and the flood\-ravaged plains of Assam\. Some of what that involved: 🚚 INR 400 crore of critical assets relocated across 2,830 km and 170\+ vehicle loads, with zero losses, on time and under budget 🏔️ 500\+ personnel sustained through a 7\-month Himalayan supply isolation at \-30°C with zero stock\-outs 🚤 149 lives rescued in flood relief; commended by the District Collector and District Magistrate of Dibrugarh 📡 220\+ personnel kept fully operational through a complete communications blackout during the Article 370 security crisis 🛡️ Zero security breaches across a 15 km Line of Control sector for an entire tenure 🛩️ 54 drone operators trained to operational standard in 2 months, in a facility built from scratch 🎓 98 Agniveers \(soldiers recruited under India's Agnipath short\-service enlistment scheme\) inducted and trained across two cohorts; awarded for training excellence by the Regimental Centre Commandant 🥷 Trained infantry soldiers in counter\-terrorism operations in Kashmir and jungle warfare at the Counter Insurgency and Jungle Warfare School, Mizoram 🏢 450\+ residential quarters and a 300\-student school administered as a self\-contained township Across twelve years, I have run logistics and supply chains with no room for stock\-outs, managed multi\-crore assets and vendor ecosystems, led teams through high\-stakes situations, and delivered projects in places where the nearest hardware store was a helicopter ride away\. I am now bringing that operational depth into the corporate world\. I hold an active PMP certification and am open to conversations with teams looking for someone who has consistently delivered under pressure\.
