Driving innovation in India Inc. with army veterans
Mint New Delhi
|May 19, 2025
Corporate India is strategically hiring military veterans to leverage their leadership and unique experiences
In the ever-evolving fabric of corporate India, where agility and innovation dictate success, a new force is driving transformation—the veterans.
Resilient, disciplined under immense pressure, and honed by decades of leadership in high-stakes scenarios, former members of the Indian Armed Forces bring an unparalleled edge to the corporate arena.
As industries adapt to thrive in a competitive global economy, veterans emerge as an invaluable talent pool capable of shaping strategies, solving complex challenges, and fostering a culture of excellence.
A recent report by Taggd, a recruitment firm, highlights the increasing demand for veterans in global capability centres, or GCCs. The number of veterans hired across GCCs has surged to 24,000 in the 2023-24 financial year, a substantial increase from 10,000 a decade ago.
