New Delhi: In a significant post-operation outreach, the Indian Army on Wednesday convened a high-level interaction titled 'Chief’s Chintan' at the Manekshaw Centre, New Delhi. The closed-door session, led by Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi, brought together former Army Chiefs to exchange strategic views and lessons, especially in the wake of Operation Sindoor.

According to an official statement from the Indian Army, the event was aimed at leveraging the “vast experience and strategic insights” of past military leadership to guide the Army’s future transformation and preparedness.

The central theme of the interaction was a detailed briefing on Operation Sindoor, the recent joint-services counter-terror mission that drew national and global attention. The operation’s strategic implications, lessons learned, and its role in redefining joint operational doctrines were discussed in depth.

Former Chiefs, with decades of operational and strategic experience, contributed insights into capability enhancement, structural reforms, and organisational agility. Many of them reportedly appreciated the Army’s swift execution of Operation Sindoor and offered suggestions to bolster jointness, technology adoption, and readiness for emerging challenges.

The Army stated that the event reaffirmed the “collective commitment of current and former leaders” to ensuring that the force remains “future ready” amidst evolving security dynamics.
