Behind every legacy is a story of bold beginnings and relentless evolution. For us, it began with Mr. Chittranjan Choudhury’s dream in 1983, but the next chapter was written by his son, Mr. Manu Choudhury, who joined the family business in 2010. Together, they turned a modest printing venture into a global leader in the industry.

Mr. Manu Choudhury, a Computer Science Engineer with a passion for technology, had always been fascinated by innovation. His fascination for gadgets began in childhood, where he spent hours assembling computers and experimenting with the latest tools and devices. During his engineering days, Mr. Manu Choudhury and his friends created a news portal, a concept well ahead of its time. Long before personalized news suggestions became common, they had envisioned a way to curate news in a unique, user-centric format. This forward-thinking mindset extended to many other areas, where Mr. Manu Choudhury developed systems and ideas that were far ahead of their time.

After earning his Master’s in Print Media, specializing in Colour Science, from the United States, Mr. Manu Choudhury returned to CDC with a vision to modernize and expand its capabilities. Drawing from his expertise in machine learning, he developed systems to automate and streamline processes, ensuring consistent quality and a seamless customer experience.

Under his leadership, CDC grew from a small printing unit into a company producing 200,000 books daily, with 2,300+ clients across 40+ countries and an annual revenue of $25 million in 2024, growing at an impressive 20-40% year-on-year.

Mr. Manu Choudhury’s journey didn’t stop there. In 2018, he completed an Executive MBA in Operations and Supply Chain Management, which marked a turning point in CDC’s growth. His focus shifted to making CDC a system-oriented organization, where advanced tools like generative AI and automation ensured transparency, precision, and efficiency.

While Mr. Manu Choudhury’s technological advancements propelled the company forward, CDC’s heart remained unchanged – its commitment to care, quality, and sustainability. Guided by Mr. Chittranjan Choudhury’s founding principle of putting customers first, CDC continues to redefine excellence in printing.

CDC isn’t just a printing company – it’s a story of a father’s dream, a son’s vision, and a shared legacy of building something extraordinary.
