Mentoring careers in physical security consultancy for the 2 - 5 years corporate experience segment
Physical security consultancy is a nascent field in India; yet a very promising one. It is my belief that an exposure to consultancy in the initial stages of one's career can be of immense value in accelerating the growth of physical security professionals. It can help them achieve the escape velocity to achieve a higher growth trajectory compared to their peers.
The big question that may come to your mind is - what is the criteria for the role and how do I know if I am likely to be a good fit? Well it's fairly simple and what I am sharing is my personal opinion. All you need is a minimum of two years 'quality' experience in corporate security, analytical, communication and report writing skills. And the passion to travel the length and breadth of India (and beyond). Ladies too will find the role very appropriate and their skills are in great demand in this industry. The minimum two year corporate experience criteria applies to the defence background persons as well.
The next question to be answered is - why am I taking up mentoring? Well, it's been a long and arduous journey of 12 years of corporate security risk and design consultancy after 22 years in the Army and I felt the time had come to help the best of next generation take up consultancy and benefit themselves and the physical security community.
And the last question to be answered is - how does it work? Again simple. Drop me a mail at [email protected] with a one page bio and 500-1000 word essay on a security related subject of your choice. I will review and set up a video chat to give feedback and answer your questions about the field.

2 年Col Deepak Kajla (Retd), CPP, PMP Sir, Security as a concept is little understood and/or taken very casually at many critical levels at the personal, internal and national level. If we look to develop quality physical security professionals in Bharat, I think we must begin working on introducing the subject of security into the high school and college curriculum. This will help us build the much needed #SecurityCulture that will then create the seriousness for youth to look at this wonderful profession of #PhysicalSecurity #CriticalAssetProtection or #CloseProtection . We could also bring in foreign academies (Israeli to be my choice). With a Billion + CCTV Cameras (people) Bharat can be the most secured place on the planet. We only need to educate and tune them accordingly. Best wishes for your mentoring initiative sir. Much needed at the moment. Regards
