ABOUT TACTIV

Gear Built for Those Who Lead From the Front

TACTIV is an India-born tactical, outdoor, and everyday carry (EDC) brand inspired by the discipline, efficiency, and spirit of the armed forces. We create performance-driven gear for people who refuse to settle—for the doers, the builders, the adventurers, and everyday patriots who believe that purpose and lifestyle should go hand in hand.

Our mission is simple: to bring military-grade reliability to everyday life without compromising comfort, style, or accessibility. Whether you’re navigating city life, taking on the outdoors, or traveling across the country, TACTIV equips you with gear that works as hard as you do.

From laser-cut MOLLE backpacks to rugged paracord bracelets and modular tactical accessories, every TACTIV product is built with meticulous attention to detail and premium materials like Cordura®️ nylon—just like the gear trusted by soldiers in the field.

Made for the Everyday Patriot

TACTIV is more than just a brand—it’s a mindset. A reminder that patriotism doesn’t only belong on the battlefield. It can be lived every single day, in every choice we make, in every place we stand up for what we believe.

Meet the Founder

Capt Chethan YK (Retd)

Capt Chethan YK (Retd)
Founder & Veteran Entrepreneur

Capt Chethan YK is a former Indian Army officer who transitioned from serving the nation to redefining how tactical gear is designed, built, and used in India. His years in uniform taught him the value of resilience, precision, and reliability—principles that now drive every product at TACTIV.

After completing his military service, Capt Chethan founded Olive Planet, India’s first and leading military gear company, helping thousands of defence aspirants, veterans, and patriots access professional-grade equipment. Through this journey, he recognized a gap: high-performance tactical gear that civilians could use in everyday life.

That realization led to the birth of TACTIV—a brand that brings combat-level functionality into the civilian world, without losing its soul. Today, Capt Chethan leads TACTIV with the same ethos that guided him as an officer: integrity, innovation, and a mission-first mindset.
