Ranjeet Kumar — Operations Associate

I work at the crossroads of events, hospitality, and procurement, helping shape platforms that bring people, policy, and purpose together. With 15 years of experience across the event and travel ecosystem, my journey has evolved from the corporate world to purpose-driven work in the development sector. I currently contribute to the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI), supporting its mission through the delivery of national and international conferences, workshops, and high-level engagements, managing operations end to end. The transition from corporate to development was not easy—but it has been a valuable learning journey. Working in policy-oriented and public-sector environments has strengthened my approach to planning, stakeholder coordination, and event and hospitality procurement, while reinforcing the importance of collaboration, patience, and continuous learning. Prior to this, I spent over a decade with Thomas Cook India Ltd., working across large-scale events, travel operations, and complex stakeholder environments. That experience built a strong foundation in structured delivery, operational discipline, and managing scale—skills that continue to inform my work today. Earlier in my career, I was involved in delivering high-visibility initiatives, including G20-related meetings, Khelo India, and projects for key government institutions—experiences that sharpened my attention to detail and execution rigor. Academically, I hold a PGDM in Travel & Tourism Management from Indian Institute of Tourism and Travel Management (IITTM), Gwalior, and a Bachelor’s degree in Tourism Studies, grounding my work in hospitality, stakeholder engagement, and sustainable event practices. I’m driven by learning, teamwork, and the quiet satisfaction of building convenings that contribute to resilient and sustainable futures.
