About Varlin Panwar
Squadron Leader Varlin Panwar’s is a decorated Indian Air Force veteran, who served for over a decade as a Fighter Controller, one of the most critical and high-pressure roles in air defence, where every decision could alter national security outcomes. From safeguarding Indian airspace to playing a decisive role in sensitive missions, including operations ahead of the 2018 Republic Day flypast, her career reflects composure under pressure and absolute clarity of thought.
An NCC Best Cadet at the national level, Varlin’s leadership journey began early, shaped by discipline, grit, and service.

Post-retirement, Varlin seamlessly transitioned into civilian leadership roles, proving that adaptability is the highest form of strength. Between 2024 and 2025, she has continued to expand her impact as a defence and aviation consultant for major Bollywood productions like Fighter and Skyforce, ensuring authenticity in storytelling around the armed forces. She has also led technology and security operations for large-scale sporting platforms, including the IPL, where precision, risk management, and crisis readiness are paramount.
