P&W’s India MD quits; unrelated to losing out on IndiGo order, says firm

New Delhi: Palash Roy Chowdhury, aircraft engine maker Pratt & Whitney’s India managing director, has decided to resign from his position — and this comes a month after the company’s top customer in the country IndiGo opted for its rival firm to power the next batch of aircraft deliveries. However, the United Technologies-owned company said that Roy Chowdhury’s exit was unrelated to the company losing out on IndiGo order.

“I have had a phenomenal journey over last 18 years with Pratt & Whitney and UTC, the last eight of which were in India. During this period, India became the fastest growing aviation market globally and the company is well-poised for a strong period of growth in the country. I am now looking forward to pursuing some personal and entrepreneurial interests that I have nurtured for some time,” Roy Chowdhury told The Indian Express.

In response to an e-mail query, Pratt & Whitney said: “After 18 years at UTC (United Technologies), Mr Roy Chowdhury has elected to pursue opportunities outside of Pratt & Whitney. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”
