New Delhi (India), July 5 : Subir Ray Chaudhuri, the visionary MD and CEO of Progressive Innovators Pvt. Ltd. (PIPL), has a remarkable career spanning 24 years across the hospitality and finance sectors. Born and brought up in Siliguri, Darjeeling, Subir’s educational journey began at Don Bosco, Siliguri, and later at the Institute of Hotel Management, Catering Technology, and Applied Nutrition (IHMCTAN), under the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, from 1997 to 2000. He also holds a Master’s degree from Madurai Kamaraj University and a Business English Certification as a qualified faculty from the University of Cambridge.
Subir’s career in the hospitality industry began in 2000, with prestigious establishments like JW Marriott in Goa and Mumbai, followed by Hyatt Regency. He later served as a senior faculty member at IIAS and IIHM. After eight years in hospitality, Subir transitioned into the financial sector, taking on pivotal roles at Max New York Life as Branch Training Manager and at AEGON Religare, a Times of India Group Company, where he rose to the position of Zonal Training Head for East and North India. In these roles, he conducted extensive training programs in sales, process, skill development, management development, and product launches.
