India has the third largest army in the world and there are limited efforts to help the Ex Servicemen's transition to the corporate sector. There was a need felt to form an organisation which guides and helps the Ex servicemen in transitioning seamlessly to the corporate sector for enriching second career opportunities and thus KARNATAKA EX SERVICEMEN WELFARE SOCIETY (KEWS) was formed by Col Basavaraj G (Retd) in 2016. Under his able guidance and vision KEWS has become a prominent ex servicemen society which has helped ex servicemen and their dependents in transitioning seamlessly to get in to corporate sector and other career opportunities.
KEWS mission has been to help every retiring soldier get a respectful and befitting second career. KEWS Is to become the preferred go-to Ex Servicemen hiring partner for corporates across industries and functions in India. We are a team of retired military officers and management consultants who understand both the turfs the KEWS and the corporates. This complimentary experience helps us in understanding the military as well as corporate vocabulary, and the unspoken yet mandated expectations. This makes the difference in delivering the best-in- class hiring experience. KEWS focuses only on Ex Servicemen and their dependent's talent. We have unparallel access to the Ex Servicemen talent pool.
