Arindam has been invited to teach and inspire students at the most prestigious colleges across the length and breadth of world- from the Harvard Business School in USA to the Imperial College in UK to CUHK in Hong Kong to IIT-K in India. From CEOs to Entrepreneurs, from Success Icons to Celebrities; Arindam has personally trained them in areas of Leadership, Management, Economics & Strategic Vision.

Arindam’s lifelong vision and work has focused towards eradication of three evils - Religion, Income Inequality & Gender Discrimination; And champion a new order with Equal Access to Health, Education & Justice.

A thought leader, Arindam’s top most ability is to help others look beyond the obvious by mixing his original philosophies with academic theories, and he championed that at IIPM through the paper he taught, ‘Beyond Principles of Management & Economics’ and through the mission of IIPM that he stood for, ‘Dare To Think Beyond’. More than a million people have directly attended his lectures over the last three decades & more and more than 50k people have taken direct professional training from him.

Arindam has a Bachelors & Masters Degree in Economics from Madras University, an Honours Diploma in Industrial Engineering & a Post Graduate Diploma in Planning & Management from IIPM and a Ph.D in Business from University of Buckingham.

As an outspoken anti-theist Arindam believes health scares are a key reason for fraudulent religious practices and belief in God to thrive. He believes while economies around the world make Universal Basic Income covering health, housing & education a common practice; Science will soon make humans almost live forever and make the need for God redundant. From losing his younger bother — who was then only 19 — to a road accident, to losing his elder half brother to a racist attack, to losing his father who he wished lived forever, to losing his most adored 11 year old nephew to Cancer; Deaths, and resultantly the want to hold on to loved ones & change the health care system has been one of the greatest urges he has nurtured. It has lead him to become a passionate & CERTIFIED champion of Public Health & Disease Prevention, Longevity Science & Biohacking and, Preventive Care & Lifestyle Medicine, intertwining various aspects of Community Health, Mental Well-Being, Nutrition & Exercise Physiology.

Arindam considers himself a lifelong student and thus has not only read, researched, lectured & practiced extensively on these intrinsically interconnected areas of his passion but to keep himself scientifically abreast, he has earned more than 35 certifications from the most reputed global institutions — 50% of them being from Harvard University — spread cumulatively across a whopping 156 weeks of official total program duration on his three areas of passion mentioned above (Public Health & Disease Prevention, Longevity Science & Biohacking and, Preventive Care & Lifestyle Medicine)! He calls it a ‘self curated online Medical Specialization in Humanity, Longevity & Lifestyle’.

Driven by his father Dr. Malay Chaudhuri’s passion and tireless work on Community Health and deeply impacted by the road accident that took away his brother in 1994, Arindam has written extensively on Public Health and it has been a part of his lectures since then. Arindam has been invited by the Associations of Medical Professionals to impart leadership program on Public Health to Doctors on one hand and on the other he has been invited by NACO to impart training to PLWHA (People Living With HIV/AIDS). As a part of The Great Indian Dream Foundation and Manavata Seva Kendras, in memory of his brother, he along with his father funded and initiated multiple Public Health initiatives for rural & urban India including setting up of Low Cost Bypass Surgery initiatives in Rural Bengal & Running Ambulances and Night Shelter facilities in Delhi.

Apart from his original multi theory based concept of ‘Happy Capitalism’ & ‘Theory ‘I’ Management’, Arindam has propounded multiple theories over the last three decades, namely— ‘9Ps Success Trilliant Theory’, ‘NECTAR for Living Forever’ and ‘IA in times of AI’. In Thorns to Competition where THORNS itself is a theory by itself, he turned the basic premise of Marketing upside down by saying that ‘Needs Can Be Created’, and in his economics books he said economies don’t have three central problems. They essentially only have one— for whom to produce, and that determines how any government looks after the most marginalised in the economy.

In 2017 Dr. Chaudhuri launched the Power Brands LIFE (London International Forum of Equality). A forum through which he intends to give a mega voice to the need for global equality - in education, access to health facilities, access to minimum dignified living and judiciary.

To further the cause, on May 5th 2018, he started the Global Wage Equality Crusade. As a part of it, he has been speaking across the world in an effort to reach out to decision makers in government as well as corporate sectors on the urgent need of policies that can make the wage ratio between the lowest paid worker and the highest paid worker as 3:1. The entire philosophy is based on his father Dr Malay Chaudhuri's original theory of Production of Skills by Means of Skills outlined in the book What Marx Left Unsaid.

Arindam’s father, Dr. Malay Chaudhuri, the Founder Director of IIPM also founded the Bhartiya Manavata Vikas Party— a Political Party dedicated to Human Development. Arindam doesn’t rule out reviving the party, one day.
