A remarkable journey of an illustrious personality from policy corridors to corporate strategy

Scaling New Heights

Bhartendu Shandilya has crafted a rare and remarkable path that bridges both public service and corporate strategy with equal expertise. A former bureaucrat turned corporate strategist, a bestselling author, a mentor to young entrepreneurs, and a man of diverse passions— his life is a compelling narrative of purpose, transition, and evolution.

A Visionary Leader

Bhartendu Shandilya spent nearly two and a half decades in government service, most prominently as the Resident Commissioner of the Union Territory of Chandigarh. Known for his clarity of purpose and grassroots-orientated approach, he was instrumental in enabling public delivery mechanisms, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic when coordination across states, departments, and emergency systems demanded calm leadership and swift action.
