Perry (Perwez) Molubhoy
CEO
Atlantic Hotels Group Ltd.
A strong entrepreneur, a diligent CEO, and a stern businessman—this is how one
could describe Perry Molubhoy. He is not only a successful leader but a visionary and
risk-taker. He is the best of both worlds—a figure that people strive to be like. Perry is the epitome of
perfection.
Perry always believed that in order to be successful, one must think out of the box. He always felt the
need to have something different, an edge, and he made that prevalent in any business he started.
Perry was born in Karachi, Pakistan. He was always fond of education and strived to earn his degree in any
way possible. He then moved to Dubai to complete his ordinary and advanced levels in the British system,
equivalent to high school in the American system. Once completed, Perry still wanted to go further. He
yearned for knowledge and wanted to create a stable foundation for himself. He then chose to leave his
family and surrounding in the East and set off for a higher education in the West. He decided to move to
Dallas, Texas. This was probably the best decision of his life.
At the mere age of 16, he moved to Dallas and enrolled at the University of Texas in Dallas. Perry started
off as a Pre-Med major. He started taking his pre-requisite science courses of anatomy and physiology and
decided as an elective to try accounting. He jumped into the class and soaked up everything that the
professor taught. He was fascinated by the subject and craved to learn more about that and the financial
world. Perry then decided that his calling was business, not medicine, and changed his major. While he
was going to school, he was running a business as well. He started off with a dry cleaner which he grew
from nothing. He created a personalized service that customers loved and kept them coming back wanting
more. He would study by night and work by day—applying what he learned in class immediately to his
own business. At UTD, Perry completed his Bachelors of Business Administration with a concentration in
Accounting and Finance. After graduation he decided to stay in the US and grow and apply the degree he
had earned. He already knew how to run a successful business through the dry cleaner, but now he
wanted bigger and better challenges.
In 1983, Perry decided to start Atlantic Video Inc. Through this business, he distributed Indian/Pakistani
movies, dramas and television serials in USA and worked with the producers and distributors in India itself.
He was on a first name basis with the biggest producers in Bollywood for his work ethic and determination.
Through this business he established a proposal for the development of this business in the USA and set
the precedent that is followed to this day. He created the marketing program for distribution for these
movies. He figured out that by selling older movies that he has in stock he was earning a higher profit then
by distributing and selling the new releases. The classics were the key to success in this business. After
many years, in late 1992, Perry was still running the movie business but decided that he needed to add a
new twist to his portfolio. He started Atlantic Oil & Gas Inc and became one of the biggest jobbers in the
DFW Metroplex.
Perry was one of the first Southeast Asian jobbers to start gasoline distribution products in Dallas/Fort
Worth. He started off with FINA, one of the most well known oil distribution companies in the USA at the
time, and then added CITGO, Chevron, Texaco, Shell, Diamond Shamrock, and Phillips-66. Through his
company, Perry was able to increase the sustainable distribution of the products and reached a height of
40 million gallons per year, an unheard of amount that shocked everyone in the industry. Atlantic Oil and
Gas was one of the largest distributors in DFW. Perry yet again embarked on a new kind of business model,
hotels, and fell in love with the industry. The dynamic markets and the uniqueness of hotels caught Perry’s
eye. He started construction of his first hotel, a Holiday Inn Express in 2000 and completed the project in
January 2002. He then decided that hotels were the way to go and wanted to focus solely on this business.
In December 2006, he decided to sell both Atlantic Oil and Gas and Atlantic Video and focus on this new
kind of business.
Perry is the current founder, CEO, and President of Atlantic Hotels Ltd. He started his first hotel in January
2001 and is still growing till date. Atlantic Hotels owns, operates, and manages five successful hotels in
the DFW and surrounding Metroplex. Perry’s hotels are not only unique but also a statement in the
hospitality industry. Believing in the idea of affordable luxury, Perry has created products that focus on
both the customer and cost efficiency. Yet again Perry proved his “out of the box” theory to be correct.
Perry stood out for his unique ability to mesh multiple ideas and that helped create his success in the
industry.
Perry has created a staple of himself within the hospitality industry. Moving from movies, to oil
distribution, to hotels, Perry has now found the industry that suits him best. Hotels are not only genuine
and unique but also exciting to run on a daily basis. Perry is not done yet. He is still growing and leading
with full force and as strong as ever. He is planning to grow his company in the coming years while still
keeping his mission and vision intact. Perry is a role model, a visionary, and leader.
