Mechanical Engineer
A graduate from prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, IIT-Guwahati, recruited in final year by
Reliance Industries – an Indian company ranked 114 in fortune 500, for its extensive 1 year training
within the Oil & Petrochemical sector. After successful completion of training at two of RIL’s sites – a
petrochemical unit at Vadodara & world’s largest refinery at Jamnagar, I am now a Manager in Crude
plant of Reliance's very first refinery DTA. At present, I am looking for opportunities to enhance my
knowledge & experience gaining at RIL and build a sound career as a Mechanical engineer.
