He has also run essential projects under IT Communication Technology System Operations, Organisational Strategy Innovation, Operational Services, and the like. 

Before joining the Indian Army, Mr Nair had completed a business management executive program for the forces. Apart from post-graduating from the prime university, Sanjeev also completed a program in Technology, Operations, HR, and Strategic Management from Madhya Pradesh Military College of Telecommunication Engineering and Army War College. 

Mr Nair was also responsible for leading the sales and business development areas in Cyber Intelligence and Data Analytics solutions enterprise. He was also the program director at Innovations for Defence Excellence (IDEX) under the Defence Ministry of the Indian Government. As a part of a government-run initiative, Sanjeev has led multiple programs focusing on innovation and prototype development by bringing in R&D groups, industries, universities, and even start-ups.
