About Exservicemen.in — Built by a Veteran, For Veterans

Welcome to exservicemen.in, a dedicated platform dedicated to serving and supporting the brave veterans of the Indian Armed Forces. Our mission is to honor the hardships and contributions of our ex-servicemen by providing them with the resources, information, and community they deserve.

Who We Are

Exservicemen.in is India’s dedicated welfare portal for ex-servicemen, built and run by Ajay Kumar — a veteran with 15 years of service in the Indian Armed Forces.

This is not a corporate website. No marketing team, no investors, no middlemen. Just one veteran who understood the struggles of retirement firsthand — and decided to do something about it.

Meet the Founder

Ajay Kumar — Ex-Serviceman | 15 Years of Service | Indian Armed Forces

Ajay Kumar served in the Indian Armed Forces for 15 years. After retirement, he experienced the same problems every ex-serviceman faces — confusing SPARSH portal errors, unclear ECHS procedures, missed job quota opportunities, and no single reliable source of accurate information.

Official government websites are difficult to navigate on mobile. WhatsApp groups are full of unverified rumours. Most “defence welfare” websites are run by people who have never worn a uniform.

Rakesh built Exservicemen.in in September 2024 to fix exactly this — using his 15 years of firsthand armed forces experience to create a portal that gives real answers to real problems, in simple language every veteran can understand.

Why Exservicemen.in Was Created

Every year, thousands of ex-servicemen miss out on ECHS benefits, pension entitlements, and government job quotas — not because they are not eligible, but because the information is scattered, confusing, or simply not available in one place.

Exservicemen.in was created in September 2024 with one mission:

To give every Indian veteran free, accurate, and easy-to-understand information about their rights and benefits — without any middlemen.
