It is with immense pride and deep respect that we commend Major General Rajiv Narayanan (Retd.), AVSM, VSM, a towering figure in the realm of military, defence, and strategic affairs. Today, he stands among the most talked-about and widely respected experts in India, with his voice resonating across the globe. His incisive insights, clear-headed analyses, and strategic conclusions are not only shaping public discourse but are also commanding attention in global diplomatic and security circles.
This global recognition reached a defining moment during and after the first phase of Operation Sindoor. As the world watched a high-stakes military and strategic operation unfold across India’s western front, Major General Narayanan emerged as one of the most authoritative voices interpreting the developments with precision and clarity. His regular appearances on leading Indian news networks offered viewers a calm, factual, and penetrating analysis amid the noise of sensationalism. His commentaries were widely quoted by defence journals, think tanks, and strategic policy platforms in the US, Europe, and Southeast Asia.
In closed-door forums and international webinars hosted by reputed institutions—including the Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (MP-IDSA), Observer Research Foundation (ORF), and dialogues held under Track II diplomacy—his inputs have helped shape broader understanding of India’s strategic doctrine and national security imperatives.
What truly sets Major General Narayanan apart is his rare ability to convey complex geopolitical and security issues through a comprehensive 360-degree lens—communicated with precision, lucidity, and impact. His articulation is never cloaked in jargon; instead, he speaks in a language that bridges the gap between domain specialists and the common citizen. This ability to distill nuance into universally accessible wisdom is a hallmark of his communication.
Across continents, his perspectives are being relayed, referenced, and respected. Through his voice, India’s strategic clarity is being heard and acknowledged by the world. It is a matter of national pride that we have, in Major General Rajiv Narayanan, a thought leader whose intellect, integrity, and influence continue to inspire and inform.
