Harish Chopra, Chairman & Managing Director A vivid learner, he has spent his entire working life in tourism industry. He started his career in the year 1967 with country's largest DMC, now part of Thomas Cook India and grew from the rank of an executive trainee to a higher managerial post with experience of operational, financial, marketing & Corporate Affairs during the long stint of nearly three decades, before he took a decision to tread on his own path in the year 1994. The thought brewing for years to offer the unique India experience to visiting travelers finally took shape in the year 1996 with the formation of Travel Pals (India) Private Limited.

Amit Chopra, Associate Director, leisure & incentive tours Tourism graduate from Delhi University, he has !ND!A in his blood. His charming personality glorifies whenever he is given an opportunity to share the facts & culture of his country.
