Chandigarh lad Vipul Thakur, son of Mr. Vijay Thakur, has made the city proud by getting commissioned into the Indian Navy. He was commissioned into the Navy on 27th May 2017, at Indian Naval Academy, Ezhimala.

Vipul did a bachelor’s degree in engineering (ECE) from Chitkara University, Himachal Pradesh, in 2015. He also worked with Tech Mahindra for a year before getting selected to the Navy.

Speaking about having fulfilled his cherished dream to join the Indian Armed forces, Vipul said, “I always dreamt of wearing the uniform and serve my country like my grandfather, who was in the Army. I always focused on my goal which helped me complete the tasks assigned to me.”

Speaking about his training, he said, “I strongly feel that there is no greater way to give back to our great Country than serving in the armed forces. The training was definitely thrilling as well as challenging as it brought out the best in me. The course prepared us to handle any adverse situation coming our way. It is the sheer love for the country, which keeps any soldier going. Indeed the unflinching love and support from my parents kept me in high spirits and gave me the strength to complete my training.”

We are proud of Vipul and wish him the best of everything that life gets his way.
