His parents migrated from Pakistan (then West Punjab) and finally settled in Faridabad and had a large happy family with total of 8 children. He has a total of 7 siblings: 5 brothers and 2 sisters. His father was then a teacher in Atchison College in Lahore and Mother was a homemaker.

He started his schooling at Delhi College Indore, India and then moved to The Air Force School, Delhi, India. He was resolute and thus at a very young age he was awarded with the scholarship for education in a public school in India. Later at a very early age, just after his matriculation, he was selected for training in IAF (Indian Air Force). He is an outdoor, sportive and adventurous person, like travelling to different countries and has practically touched all the continents. He is fluent in Hindi, English and Russian.

AIR FORCE CAREER '''

He was focused and was passionate about his career and thus cleared UPSC exam in the first attempt. Suddenly, his life went through a drastic change after getting selected for IAF (Indian Air Force). He left home at an early age of 15 years to join National Defence Academy. All his efforts and will-power lead him to get commissioned in the Flying Branch of IAF in 1968.

During his IAF tenure, he started his career with Dakota (DC-3 Aircraft) and finally converted to Jet Bomber Canberra Aircraft. He took part in a large number of operations, viz (North-East India, Western India), Indo-Pak war (1971), IPKF (Indo Peace Keeping Force), Sri Lanka and few others. He underwent training in the best institutions in the world like the NDA (National Defence Academy), Defence Service Staff College, Institute of Armament Technology, etc. He is one of the very few officers who underwent 2 long staff courses i.e., Defence Services Staff College and Technical Staff College. He took early retirement as a Wing Commander.

CORPORATE CAREER

He left Armed Forces after nearly 21 years of frontline services, the time when he could have enjoyed the fruits of the hard work he has put in; however, he was not the one who would have a laid-back life. He, in fact, dreaded and still dreads the cushy laidback life. He joined the corporate sector and worked with several leading companies i.e., Thermax Limited, Birla Group, and Kuoni Travels. His core was in International and Service Marketing. It was a big change and he was able to cope with changed work environment and moved ahead successfully. At the age of 58, he was told that it was time for him to retire; but for Renjen, the word retirement didn’t exist.

ENTREPRENEUR

Within the 10 days of retirement, he started his own event management business. However, this was not his first attempt towards entrepreneurship. He was in the process of starting a joint venture with Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant, Russia (an earth moving equipment manufacturer) but due to some failed operational attempts, the joint venture has to be shelved.

BREAK THROUGH

Fortunately, this attempt of starting a business by Renjen succeeded and the firm is in its 14th year of inception.
