If you were around in 1999, chances are you remember mornings that looked like this. For nearly ten weeks that summer, India fought one of its toughest military campaigns across the rugged heights of Kargil. Twenty-seven years later, its legacy remains as relevant as ever. Kargil was more than a battle for strategic peaks. It was a defining moment that reaffirmed India's resolve to protect every inch of its sovereign territory. Through Operation Vijay on the ground and Operation Safed Sagar in the skies, the Indian Armed Forces demonstrated what joint-force warfare, unwavering courage, and absolute commitment to the mission truly look like. Over the years, books, documentaries, and films have attempted to capture the spirit of Kargil. They have given us a glimpse into the extraordinary realities of war—from soldiers scaling near-vertical cliffs under relentless fire to Indian Air Force pilots flying combat missions through the rarefied air at 30000 feet! Every sortie demanded precision. Every decision carried consequences. But Kargil is more than a story to remember. It is a lesson to carry forward. At NewSpace, that lesson is deeply personal. Our Co-Founder & CEO, @joe_sameer , known by his nick name Joe, served during the Kargil War (You can spot Sameer on the newspaper clip attached). His experiences during the 1999 war did not remain confined to the battlefield—they became part of the foundation principles of NewSpace. Those principles continue to shape how we think, build, and deliver at NS. Behind NS’ strong foundation stands another aviator, Commodore @JA_Maolankar, NM (Retd.)—whose distinguished career spans over 35 years in Indian Naval Aviation and Flight Testing, including service during the Kargil conflict (clip attached). Today, as Executive Vice President – Technology Development, he continues to serve the nation by advancing autonomous technologies that strengthen India's military capabilities. That legacy extends beyond aviators. NS’ Head of Business Development & Sales, @NavlaniNaveen is also a veteran of Operation Vijay in the Batalik sector, carrying the perspective of a soldier into every capability delivered to the frontlines. Every autonomous system, every AI-enabled capability, and every mission-ready platform we develop is rooted in a simple belief: tomorrow's battlefields demand technologies informed by yesterday's realities. On #KargilVijayDiwas, we recommit ourselves to the heroes we lost, the veterans who returned, and every soldier who continues to guard our borders. We will continue to build for your mission. सेवा परमो धर्मः | Service Before Self Jai Hind!
