Some Key Team Members
It’s our people than make Periplus truly stand out. Most of the team have been with us since we began, a rare thing in a fast moving industry and testament to the importance of looking after staff and our supply chains. It goes without saying that we’re a friendly bunch, and our clients quickly become friends.
At our core
A proud Old Delhi Wallah at heart and an academic by training, Ravi started his career in travel in 1997. What started as a non-serious experiment (one of many during the ‘silly younger days’) soon became a huge passion… culminating in the founding of Periplus Travel in 2010. The idea behind Periplus Travel was to go beyond merely tailor-making itineraries to customising travel experiences.
Ravi likes to see himself as a dyed-in-the-wool product and operations person, who gets very excited by the thought of devising and executing off-beat, research-based, special interest travel ideas.
Ravi - Founder
Salim has been a very familiar face in Indian DMC circle for over two decades. A rare mix of operations, sales, product and systems skills, the affability of Salim is legendary. If Salim does not know anyone in Indian travel trade, they probably do not exist!
An itinerant foodie, there is no dish (prepared by whoever) that he cannot make suggestions to improve on.
Salim - Director
Nutan lived her early life in the tribal hinterland of Central India. She started her travel career way back in 1993 in Gwalior, before moving to Delhi in 1997. Nutan co-founded Periplus with Ravi in 2010 and since then has been quietly working behind the scenes – researching product and writing collaterals.
A hobby-gardener and a health-freak, there is no health fad or hack that Nutan has not tried and tested and subsequently rejected!!!

Meticulous almost to the limit of irritation, Mudit thrives at his desk like a Headmaster. He has been the backbone of our ground operations for more than a decade and is known for his extreme and extensive attention to detail.

Our very own gentle giant, Pawan eats, sleeps and drinks Periplus!!! Always a volunteer, his unmatched people skills come handy in clearing hotel waitlists and smoothing some ruffled feathers. Pawan has been arranging travel for 15 years and has been with us for just a little less!!!

Our eyes and ears in South India, Trini has been with us since the inception of Periplus. There is no hotel or experience of significance in South India that he has not visited and sampled. So much so, whenever a new hotel opens in the region, right after breaking the customary coconut they inform Trini about it!!!

Ishwar
In a rather too boisterous an office, Ishwar brings much needed calm and composure. Amidst the unabashed gluttons, he eats to live. Even after 25 years in the business, his thoroughness and attention to details is obsessive… just below the threshold of compulsive disorder!!!
