Meet Shekhar Attri

Col Shekhar Attri, SM (Retd), is a former Indian Army Special Forces officer with 21 years of experience leading young soldiers in high-risk environments. Special Forces life gave him a front-row seat to human behaviour under pressure; how people stay motivated, collaborate as teams, and grow as leaders when the stakes are highest. After transitioning to corporate life, he now heads security for an MNC in India, working closely with Gen Z employees across sites, offices and tech centres. A seasoned trainer, speaker and motovlogger, he combines combat-tested leadership with a deep curiosity about how the next generation thinks, works and rebels. In this book, he turns battlefield-tested insight into a practical roadmap for leaders who want to truly understand Gen Z and scale with them.

Why This Book

I’m Shekhar Attri – Special Forces veteran, corporate security leader, and now author.

  • I’ve led men in conflict zones where trust and clarity meant survival, not just good performance ratings.

  • I’ve worked in large global corporations where risk, culture and people dynamics are as real as any battlefield.

  • I’ve watched younger employees come in with incredible potential;

  • & I’ve watched organisations lose them for reasons no dashboard captured.

My Special Forces years taught me a lot about human behaviour under pressure, motivation, teamwork and leadership.
My corporate years showed me how those same principles succeed or fail, inside boardrooms and business units.

Gen Z & The Corporate Reboot is where those two worlds meet.
