Against the Grain

With over two decades of experience in project management, Soumen Ray has helped project managers grow into confident professionals without burning out. A PMIxAI Ambassador and AVP of Membership at PMI West Bengal Chapter, he is passionate about making project management a sustainable, rewarding career. When he took the TEDx Burdwan Medical College stage on the theme Against the Grain, he shared a message that challenged conventional career paths — and inspired project managers to lead with conviction instead of compliance. The talk expanded his reach far beyond chapter events and corporate training rooms, positioning him as a thought leader who helps project managers achieve their career goals without stress.
