About Colonel Lalit Rai
Colonel Lalit Rai is a retired officer of the Indian Army, known for commanding the 1/11 Gorkha Rifles during the 1999 Kargil War. Under his command the battalion played a central part in the operations around the Khalubar ridge, an action in which the unit and its officers were recognised for their conduct in combat, including the posthumous Param Vir Chakra awarded to Captain Manoj Kumar Pandey.
Since retirement he has been a public voice on the Kargil conflict and on military leadership, speaking at regimental, educational and corporate events. His first-hand accounts of the Khalubar operations have been cited widely in Indian military history and in media coverage of the war.
He speaks on command in combat, the Gorkha ethos and decision-making under extreme uncertainty, in Hindi, English or Nepali. His delivery is calm and factual, and the weight of what he describes does the work. He is an obvious choice for Independence Day and Republic Day programmes, leadership offsites and defence-themed corporate events, and for schools and colleges that want a Kargil veteran rather than a narrator. Audiences take away a vivid understanding of what leadership means when the cost of a decision is measured in lives.
