Arun K. Chittilappilly

Mr. Arun K. Chittilappilly, Managing Director of Wonderla Amusement Parks & Resort, is armed with Masters in Industrial Engineering from Industrial Research Institute of Swinburne University (IRIS), Melbourne, Australia. He has been a key architect of Wonderla Holidays and has been actively involved in strategizing and conceptualizing the Wonderla Parks and Resort. At Wonderla, his responsibilities include engineering and design, marketing, communication and finance.

Soon after his Masters, Mr. Arun got involved in the operations of Wonderla Cochin- [earlier known as Veega Land]. Being well versed in industrial engineering and driven by his keen interest in the functioning of the amusement park, Mr. Arun set out to start his own venture. Believing that an amusement park in the same lines as the popular Veega Land [Cochin] would see great acceptance in Bengaluru, he initiated the project in 2003 which was completed by 2005.

The Bengaluru Wonderla Park was designed as a grander version of the Kochi Park, using the latest technology to compliment its umpteen attractions and facilities. Having been a part of the project right from its conceptual phase, Mr. Arun has witnessed and experienced the phenomenal growth of the amusement park. He holds a vision of rapid expansion across South India.

Apart from being passionate about theme parks, his other interests include music, cars, reading, traveling, adventure sports and swimming.
