IAF Pilot Vijay Arisetty: From Shaurya Chakra to Rs 1,670 Cr MyGate Empire

• Vijay Arisetty, an IAF helicopter pilot, earned the Shaurya Chakra for rescuing hundreds during the 2004 tsunami in Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
• A serious sports injury ended his flying career, leading him to pursue an MBA at Indian School of Business, Hyderabad, and a VP role at Goldman Sachs.
• Observing security gaps in gated communities, Arisetty co-founded MyGate in 2016 with Abhishek Kumar and Shreyans Daga.
• MyGate is a technology platform that enhances security and community management for apartment complexes, connecting residents, guards, and management.
• The company now secures over 40 lakh homes across India and is valued at Rs 1,670 crore, embodying Arisetty's continued commitment to protection.

Why It Matters: An IAF pilot's career-ending injury led him to build MyGate, a Rs 1,670 crore security tech company.
