V. K Sood retired as the vice-chief of the Army Staff in 1993. He is a graduate of the Royal College of Defence Studies, UK. During his career, he has served as chief of staff of a strike corps, and has held important command and staff appointments. He has worked in the military operations directorate at Army Headquarters and was a member of the task force on Border Management, which was set up by the government after the 1999 Kargil conflict with Pakistan.
Gen. Sood was awarded a PhD for his dissertation on North-east India. He has also co-authored a book, Operation Parakram: The War Unfinished with Pravin Sawhney. Though once upon a time he dabbled in Urdu poetry, these days, when he is not doing Sudarshan Kriya, he prefers reading military books.
