EXECUTIVE BODY

Current Team

Following the successful conduct of EKTTA’s maiden General Election, this association entered a new chapter of democratic governance with this first elected team. Entrusted by the members, this team represented a blend of continuity and fresh leadership, strengthening EKTTA’s institutional foundation. During its tenure, the association entered what may be described as the “Momentum Era” – marked by structured and branded initiatives such as EKTTA Cultural, EKTTA Insight, and EKTTA Connect, alongside several meaningful engagements for the travel trade fraternity. These initiatives enhanced professional empowerment, industry networking, and community bonding under a unified platform. The team now leads the 7th Momentum, featuring the association’s second General Election, a focused industry workshop, and a grand cultural gathering – reaffirming EKTTA’s commitment to democratic processes, knowledge-sharing, and collective celebration.

MAIDEN TEAM

EKTTA’s first Executive Body was formed with nine members and later expanded to thirteen, marking the beginning of its structured governance journey. The team organised the Inaugural Convention in 2019 and demonstrated social commitment through a blood donation camp and a contribution of ₹50,000 to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund during Cyclone Fani. A defining milestone of this tenure was EKTTA’s formal registration under IGR, Odisha in 2021, establishing it as a recognised state-level association. Despite the severe disruptions caused by the pandemic, the team sustained meaningful engagement, successfully conducted the maiden AGM in 2021 , supported by Dubai Tourism during their first roadshow in Odisha - and organized the association’s first General Election, laying the foundation for democratic continuity.
