Col Puneet Salhotra (Retired) is the Head of Administration and Operations at the Shiv Nadar School Noida.

With a Masters in Defence and Strategic Studies, he is an alumnus of the prestigious Defence Services Staff College. During nearly four decades of his service, Col Salhotra has served the length and breadth of the country, making a significant contribution in all assignments that came his way. He has had multifaceted experiences in operational, administrative, and training matters, including a tenure with the UN in Somalia, where he was responsible for the training of Somali police.

Known for his integrity, hard work, foresight, and teamwork, Col Salhotra joined the organisation when the school was preparing to reopen in physical space after the Covid pandemic. His mantra in life is to catch the bull by the horn. He has been able to utilise the strength of each member of his team optimally.  In a short span of four months, he has been able to bring about a significant turnaround not only in reinstating but improving several of the facilities and spaces which had closed due to the pandemic.

He enjoys family time with his two daughters and siblings. He utilises his leisure time reading, playing golf, cycling, cooking, or listening to music.
