Mr. Jitendra Kumar Ojha is a former civil servant who prematurely retired from the rank of Joint Secretary in Govt of India. He was one of the youngest Joint Secretaries to head Training Academy on External Security under Cabinet Secretariat of Govt of India.

Jitendra Ojha represents a rare blend of hands-on doer and leader turned innovative thinker on “Strategy” and ‘Grand Strategy’. He has harnessed his unusually deep and wide exposures to various dimensions of governance and national security - including institution building, geopolitics, geoeconomics, security, diplomacy, leadership, human behaviour and societal/ strategic psyche of major powers - to create robust concepts in these spheres.

During his 26 years long career as a civil servant, he handled a wide variety of complex geopolitical, security, and governance scenarios. He has engaged statesmen and leaders in different sectors (political, corporate, military, civil-society, media & administration) as well as opinion shapers across numerous fields to pursue multi-stakeholder engagements for peace building and security in complex zones. He has an exceptional track record in (a) anticipating evolving geopolitical-security scenarios with consistent accuracy (demonstrated even in his post-retirement talks/ write ups) (b) acting as an innovative solution architect in the area of “Strategy” in peace-building and conflict resolution.
