About Namrita Chandi

Wing Commander Namrita Chandi (Retd) is a former Indian Air Force helicopter pilot, aviation expert, TEDx speaker, corporate executive, and best-selling author of Unseen Wings. With over 27 years of cross-functional experience spanning military combat support and corporate leadership, she made global aviation history as the first woman pilot to fly over the Siachen Glacier—the world's highest battlefield—and land at the highest Advanced Landing Ground (ALG). Following 15 years of distinguished military service logging over 2,500 accident-free flying hours, she completed executive education at IIM Bangalore and transitioned into corporate leadership as Vice President at Indocopters and Business Development Director at Bell-Textron.

Evaluated through structured frameworks like the STRIVE framework for keynotes, Namrita’s keynotes translate extreme high-stakes military protocols into actionable strategies for corporate agility, psychological safety, and high-performance execution. Backed by engage4more’s verified expertise of executing over 5,000 corporate events across India, her sessions deliver a seamless blend of tactical grit and strategic leadership insight. She presents across versatile formats, including keynote addresses, executive retreats, panel discussions, fireside chats, and interactive leadership workshops. Namrita has coached and addressed over 10,000 leaders across 10 countries, delivering high-impact sessions for global organizations and corporate leaders including Google, Tata Group, Aditya Birla Group, Lupin, Louis Vuitton, Sandvik Coromant, and IIM Bangalore.

In recent achievements through 2025 and 2026, Wing Commander Chandi was featured across prominent business platforms celebrating pioneer women in aviation and expanded her global executive coaching initiatives focusing on cross-functional alignment and women’s leadership in STEM. Leading publications and corporate executives describe her as an "unstoppable force who bridges the gap between high-altitude survival discipline and modern boardroom strategy".
