Col Sarang Kashikar Veteran — Co-Founder
About I am Colonel Sarang Kashikar (Retd), a military veteran with over two decades of leadership experience in the Indian Army, where I led elite troops in high-stakes counterinsurgency operations and commanded formations in some of the toughest terrains of our nation. After hanging up my uniform, I transitioned into the corporate and development sectors, bringing with me a deep understanding of discipline, decision-making under pressure, and team effectiveness. Over the last decade, I have worked with schools, NGOs, hospitals, and corporates—developing leaders, strengthening organizational culture, and enabling teams to perform at their peak. Today, as the founder of Samarthya, I focus on building humane leaders—individuals who lead with both purpose and empathy. My work blends the clarity of military thinking with the emotional intelligence required in today’s complex work environments. Whether it’s training CXOs on executive presence or frontline teams on ownership, I design each session to create real, behavioral change. Let’s build leadership that lasts—grounded in values, forged through action.
