Biography

Abhilash Tomy is a globally recognised keynote speaker and leadership expert known for translating extreme maritime experiences into powerful lessons on resilience and performance. A retired Commander of the Indian Navy and naval aviator, he made history as the first Indian to complete a solo, non-stop circumnavigation of the globe under sail. He further demonstrated exceptional grit by finishing second in the 2022 Golden Globe Race, one of the world’s most demanding solo sailing competitions. Decorated with the Kirti Chakra, Nausena Medal, and multiple national honours, Abhilash’s journey includes survival after catastrophic failure at sea and rebuilding against overwhelming odds. His leadership insights are grounded in lived experience—navigating uncertainty, managing fear, and making decisions when margins for error are nonexistent. His talks resonate strongly with corporate, academic, and defence audiences alike.
