Premasis Bhattacharjee, born on July 19, 1972, in Kolkata, West Bengal, grew up in a middle-class family that valued compassion and simplicity. His formative years in Natun Kalipur, Krishnanagar, Nadia, were marked by close-knit family ties and a natural environment, which shaped him into a down-to-earth and nature-loving individual.

Raised with love and care as the second child in his family, Premasis demonstrated a progressive mindset from an early age. Fondly known as “Mender” by friends and family, he was always driven to find solutions to the challenges around him. After completing his schooling in his hometown, he moved to Kolkata in 1992 and earned his BA degree from Calcutta University in 1994. Alongside his academic pursuits, he undertook a course in Physiotherapy and began his career as a physiotherapist.

His curiosity about corporate dynamics led him to explore computer studies, seeking to understand multifaceted industries. His career began in a small service-providing company, where he quickly assumed leadership roles. Despite recognizing the potential for growth within the company, his vision for expansion was not realized, prompting him to venture into entrepreneurship.

Over the years, Premasis founded several companies, including WorkForce Advisory Pvt Ltd, SAP Advisory Services Pvt Ltd, WorkForce Business Management Pvt Ltd, SAP Interiors & Design Pvt Ltd, Sweet Happy Journey Tour & Travels Pvt Ltd, Sri Sai Sap Event Management Pvt Ltd, and Avirajvi Infrastructure Pvt Ltd. Starting with a modest team of 8-10 employees, he has since significantly expanded his ventures, creating numerous employment opportunities and fostering a culture of professional growth.

Currently, he serves as the Founder and Managing Director of these flagship companies and holds the position of Chairman at SAP GROUP. His entrepreneurial spirit continues to drive him, with plans to launch several new startups in the near future, guided by his philosophy that in business, backup plans should always have backups.

Beyond his business success, Premasis is dedicated to social impact. His companies not only provide employment to deserving candidates but also extend opportunities to underprivileged individuals. He believes in recognizing people based on their determination and talent rather than merely academic credentials, fostering an unbiased and inspiring work environment.

In addition to his business ventures, Premasis served as the President of the Rotary Club of Sonarpur for the fiscal year 2021-2022. He also founded the Krishnagar Nutun Kalipur Cultural and Welfare Society (KNKCWS) in 2010 and has been elected as its President for the year 2024.

His social work continued with his active participation in the Rotary Club Sonarpur, where he organized numerous camps to support the needy. His relentless efforts earned him the prestigious RashtriyaAtalPuraskar 2023 from the PradhanmantriSan- grahalaya, Teen MurtiBhavan, New Delhi, on May 16, 2023. Further honoring his contributions, he received the International Atal Award 2023 on December 25, 2023. Premasis Bhattacharjee is a self-made man who believes that ‘together we can succeed and make the world a better place to live in.” His life and work inspire others to pursue excellence and compassion in their endeavors.

His ethos is encapsulated in his belief: “Degrees don’t define people’s talent; their self-determination does.” His journey from a determined youth in Kolkata to a visionary entrepreneur and philanthropist is a testament to resilience, innovation, and a commitment to creating positive change in society. His story inspires others to pursue their dreams with dedication and integrity, leaving a lasting impact on the entrepreneurial landscape and beyond.

Recently, he received the Bengal Business Samman and International Business & Education Awards 2024.
