About Yashika Hatwal Tyagi
Captain Yashika Hatwal Tyagi is a name that quietly yet powerfully redefines courage, leadership, and service. A decorated Indian Army veteran and Kargil War hero, she belongs to one of the first batches of women officers commissioned into the Indian Army in 1994, at a time when the idea of women serving in combat-support roles itself was revolutionary. From the very beginning, her journey has been about stepping into spaces where few women had gone before.
Her most defining chapter came during the Kargil War. Posted in the extreme conditions of Leh and Kargil, Captain Yashika made history as the first woman officer from the logistics branch to serve in these high-altitude conflict zones. What makes her story extraordinary is that she led critical logistics operations during Operation Vijay while five months pregnant, ensuring troops at the front received supplies, ammunition, and equipment on time. For her exceptional service, she was awarded the Operation Vijay Star and became the first woman officer to submit a formal battle report, a moment etched into Indian military history.
Post-retirement, Captain Yashika transitioned seamlessly into a new mission, empowering minds. Over the last few years, including 2024 and 2025, she has continued to inspire thousands through keynote talks at corporates, leadership forums, educational institutions, and platforms like TEDx and Josh Talks. Her sessions focus on resilience under pressure, inclusive leadership, and breaking unconscious bias, making her highly relevant to today’s evolving workplaces.
When you book Captain Yashika Hatwal Tyagi, you don’t just invite a motivational speaker, you bring in lived leadership, grounded courage, and a story that reminds audiences what commitment truly looks like.
