National security is no longer confined to borders; it is defined by transnational flows, intelligence architectures, and technological capability. To decode these complexities, I have systematically built my analytical competencies across multiple domains.
Gaining an Honours certificate in Terrorism & Counter-Terrorism (Leiden University) and certifications in Countering Violent Extremism (University of Maryland) provided a robust theoretical foundation on the etiology of extremist violence.
Theory was augmented with operational insight via training in Homeland & Cyber Security (University of Colorado) and Counterintelligence Awareness (DCSA, USA), along with HME & IEDs (Department of Homeland Security, USA).
I studied the Legal Framework against CBRN Terrorism and Transnational Organized Crime via UNODC, and was formally introduced to Weapons of Mass Destruction, Missiles, and Disarmament by UNODA and the Stimson Center.
My practical outputs include an in-depth analytical study on the 2008 Mumbai Attacks, aiming to extract structural lessons. I also routinely participate in workshops on India’s Strategic Thinking hosted by the Vivekananda International Foundation to continually sharpen my strategic calculus.
