In Loving Memory of Shri Arpan Mitra
Founder, Citius Holidays
(2008 - 2023)
Arpan Mitra was not just the founder of Citius Holidays — he was its heart and soul. Leaving behind a successful career at Mahindra & Mahindra, he courageously followed his passion to build a travel company driven by purpose, values, and meaningful experiences.
What started as a solo dream soon became a shared mission, as Arpan's childhood friends joined him to shape a workplace where ideas thrived and people mattered.
On 16th June 2023, we lost Arpan far too soon. His vision, leadership, and love for travel continue to guide us every day.
He may be gone, but his legacy lives on — in the journeys we craft, the culture he built, and the passion he inspired in all of us.
Forever in our hearts.
