Lt. Col. RD Sharma (Retd)
CORE TEAM
Mr. Ranjeet Shukla
Founder President
Since childhood, he used to dream of donning the uniform. He tried to get into Army multiple times through NDA and CDSE but didn’t get through. So, he turned towards the corporate world and worked with various MNCs for over a decade.
Even though his career was in progression with MNCs, an underlying urge to join the Defence fraternity, prompted him to give up on his bright career and start this organization to work for the soldiers and their families who often face public apathy caused due to the wrong perception built by the civilian population.
He envisions India as a nation where Defence personnel and their families are treated as “Priority Citizens”.
Mr. Gaurav Shukla
Co-Founder & Creative Director
He is a post-graduate in TV Production, Broadcasting and Journalism. In the middle of his career, while working as a Casting Director in Mumbai for a renowned TV show, he decided to leave the glamorous Entertainment Industry and started working for the fraternity (Defence Forces) his father once belonged to. He uses his skills and own money to uncover stories of unsung martyrs, war-disabled soldiers/veterans and help them in all possible ways.
He has dedicated himself to work for the people who had served us when they were young.

He is into a lot of other things that keep him on the go. He is one of the Board of Advisors for the various International and National organisations like International Organisation of Educational Development India, Hire Heroes, USA and University of Houston, USA.
