Captain Walia is a man of varied interests; a positive influencer, a motivator and a people’s man, who likes to lead from the front. A self- made man, he decided at a very young age, to shape his world, rather than be shaped by it, and pursued his childhood dream of joining the Gurkha Rifles, one of the most prestigious regiments of the Indian Army, in 1983 and by serving the nation in some of the most challenging operations within and across borders. He performed outstandingly well while in national service to be appointed as GSO3 (Intelligence) Headquarters 350 Infantry Brigade, one of the most coveted designations to be awarded to a Captain.
He had to resign from the Army in 1992, on extreme compassionate grounds and later went on to join the corporate world where he continued to make a mark for himself with complete tenacity. He began his corporate foray by joining one of the largest travel conglomerates in India, the STIC Travel Group, where he displayed immense acumen, joining as a Senior Manager to become Director - Corporate & Legal Advisory Services, in a short span of just nine years. While working with STIC, he got associated with some of the most iconic brands worldwide, like Virgin Atlantic Airways, All Nippon Airways, Royal Brunei Airlines, Continental Airlines and Hospitality Marketing Concepts, to mention a few. His next stint in the corporate was with Matrix Cellular (International) Services Ltd, where he is currently positioned as the Chief Administrative Officer.
Capt. Walia remains a soldier at heart and an avid football fan, a sport he enjoyed playing with his men in the Gurkha Rifles. An intrepid traveller and adventurer, he has often taken the road to some interesting and offbeat locations across the world.
Capt. Walia is committed to mentoring, guiding and motivating, especially the youth, to live a life of excellence and be gainfully integrated in the exercise of nation building.
His autobiography “Broken Crayons Can Still Colour”, which is third best seller in the US market, has received numerous reviews to show how well it has been received in literary circles and many people have come forward to talk about the motivational tone and quality of the book.
Capt. Walia has also authored yet another best seller “Shaheen Must Die” – a patriotic fiction.
