Prior to taking over as CINCAN, the General Officer served as Director General, Defence Intelligence Agency, making history as the first Chief of Defence Intelligence to be elevated to the rank of Commander-in-Chief - a reflection of the growing importance of defence intelligence and jointmanship in India's military leadership.
