PHILATELIST

Kumar Biswas is a renowned Energy Philatelist, specialising in the collection of postage stamps related to oil and gas, and renewable resources from across the globe. His passion for philately was ignited in his early childhood (1960s) by his late uncle, Pranab Kumar Ghosh, who was an employee of the Post and Telegraph Department (now India Post) in India. As a member of The Petroleum Philatelic Society International in the United Kingdom, his impressive collection has been showcased in various state-level exhibitions throughout India.

In addition to his extensive stamp collection, he has an exclusive set of First Day Covers on Indian oil industry stamps, which bear the signatures of the top executives (CEO/CMD/MD) from the respective oil companies. He also actively contributes to the philatelic community by writing informative blogs that have garnered a global readership of over 29,000 people from more than 100 nations.
