Mixing military experience with entrepreneurship: is it possible? Is there a way to improve reliability in urban environments where GPS signals are often weak or unavailable? You can find the answers to these questions and more in this episode with my guest, Kanwar Singh is a Signal Officer in the Army National Guard and the founder of Skyline Nav AI. Kanwar navigates multiple roles and responsibilities, sharing his fascinating journey and professional insights.  

Welcome, Kanwar Singh  

Kanwar Singh brings a rich background in military
service and entrepreneurship. Inspired by his family and a speech by
Senator John McCain, he decided to join the National Guard.  
Despite facing challenges, he was commissioned as an
officer in 2018. While balancing his military service and civilian goals,
he founded Skyline Nav AI, a company that develops GPS-independent
navigation technology to enhance connectivity in environments with poor
satellite signals.  
Kanwar provides valuable insights on how service
members can balance dual careers, explore cutting-edge technology, and
embark on an inspiring journey filled with resilience and
innovation.  

Skyline Nav AI and Technological

Innovations 

Scott Skyline Nav AI focuses on commercializing
alternative navigation technologies for both the Department of Defense
(DoD) and the private sector.
Kanwar provides insights into how the company employs
innovative technologies to address and mitigate vulnerabilities associated
with GPS reliance.
He also highlights the company’s B2B model,
collaboration efforts, and the developmental potential of these
technologies.

Becoming an Entrepreneur 

Becoming your own boss is one of the best ways to live.
It makes work much more enjoyable, even though it isn’t always
easy.  
Kanwar shares his journey of becoming an entrepreneur.
Even with an MBA, the life of entrepreneurship can still be challenging
for him.  
Networking, being financially responsible, and his love
for his company helped him overcome challenges and become a successful
business owner. 

"Having a network of other entrepreneurs

and surrounding yourself with the right advisors and mentors is incredibly
helpful because it provides valuable guidance." Kanwar Singh.
