Pradip Chatterjee is a founder member of the Bengali band Moheener Ghoraguli. He is the younger brother of Gautam Chatterjee.

Also known as Bula, Pradip is an awesome flautist and vocalist who has always been in the search for musical knowledge wherever he has been to. An engineering graduate from the prestigious Bengal Engineering College, Shibpur, he joined the Calcuttan engineering firm M.N. Dastur, after the break-up of Moheener Ghoraguli. During the course of his service with the company (where he still works as a Chief Engineer), he travelled over many places from Orissa to Libya, but his quest for world-music was never deterred, but enriched by this varied experiences.

Currently, he resides at his house in Kolkata, with his wife Sharmistha and daughter Anka and son Ritoban.
