PORUS GUZDER

Entreprenuer

He took the high way to success.
Literally, the road had its hairpin
bends and its diversions but he stuck to
the route and followed his dream. Each
milestone for him was a tangible reminder
of grit, determination and self belief.

Today, Porus Guzder, Managing Director
of Incentive connections Tourism L.L.C
and Ahura Transport and Limousine
Services has pole position in transit and
travel and there are still miles to go.

His story began in 1997, when he was
in his 20s. After completing his Post
graduation in International Tourism and
Marketing from Switzerland followed
by an MBA in Marketing – he worked
with World Network Services (British
Airways) in Mumbai. In 1999, he came
to Dubai on vacation. As luck would
have it, he got a job but soon thereafter
another window of opportunity opened
when he took up a challenging position
as the Executive Director of 1001 Events.
That was the beginning of his journey as
a businessman, and since then he has not
looked back.

Porus started Ahura Transport, five years
back. Realizing there is a lot of potential
in UAE’s tourism and hospitality sector,
Porus started yet another company
called Incentive Connections three years
ago, which is a destination management
company that offers clients enriching
experiences and cherished memories
in areas of conferencing management,
incentive travel, high-end tourism,
product launches, gala events, sports and
outdoor events, road rallies and much
more. He also has an office in Argentina.

His mantra is to do well in whatever he
does and maintains that all his business
decisions hinge on sustainable growth.
