Reliance Innings Begin-1987 Feb.27th
Having taken the appointment order,I thought I can join in May'87(after my first son's annual examinations at Vishaka Valley School). But PND had other ideas&asked me to report as early as possible. For that Reliance management was courteous enough to offer that I can take a rented accommodation at Visag and leave the family there until the school closure and company will reimburse the rent. All these factors gave me more confidence. So leaving the family in a rented
accommodation at Pedda Waltair,I flew to Mumbai on 26th Feb '87- since I was relieved by HPCL on 25th afternoon after due notice period formalities. As per understanding with the company, bulk of family goods were booked in a transport lorry to Navi Mumbai and they were put in a temporary housing at Vashi, since the home selected for me -20 Rohini Apartments was not available for occupation until March end. So initially I stayed in my sister-in-law house only and used to attend office at Tulsiani Chambers.
My Reliance innings started on Feb.27th,1987 and still continuing! When I began my career here I had no idea what are in store for me!!One important thing is to be noted here. I am one of the luckiest person to enjoy the experience of Reliance Growth. I got exposed to all aspects of hydrocarbon industry- Technical/Commercial/ Legal/Insurance/ Environment issues/ Material sourcing/ Logistics/
Statutory compliance/Commissioning ,Operation& maintenance/ HSE&LP including the development of Risk Register etc. My exposure covered- right from conceptualization to steady state operations not only in in instrumentation but all facets of engineering disciplines as Project Manager/Engineering Manager in the world's largest Refinery and Petro-chemicals complex. I am proud to share that I have grown with the company & my little contribution have played a major part in the company's development and growth. Though I am in Reliance Industries role for the last 29 years, my employment have changed 6 times within the group set-ups.
Let me share how my life and career have evolved in all these 29 years. There were very high and low esteems during this period. I shall attempt to share and highlight my experience in Reliance by citing several incidents and challenges that I have faced..I have enjoyed all of them.
As I have mentioned earlier, when PND and KK roped me to Reliance, they had only Hazira petro-chemical plants in mind. So initially I was part of Hazira project team under Mr N Gopal sitting in Tulsiani Chambers. The project team had the task of identifying the various could-be licensor/s for
the various plants envisaged there. As the time was moving on, one day PND broached the subject
of deputing me to Patalganga to effectively participate and contribute for the upcoming PTA plant implementation under ICI Technology ,John Brown,UK being the engineering contractor. Without hesitation I responded that it is my duty and responsibility to serve in the best of company's interest.
But they had their internal issues; Sh B R Mehta was the manager in position, who had the dual responsibility of both procurement as well as engineering/construction management. M/S ICB was the instrument contractor, managed by Sh K Chandrasekhar, another DMIT. So PND deliberated this with MDA. After few days, one fine day PND's Secy. told me that the boss wants me to be in PG and he will meet me there, as he was coming back from Delhi. That is how first field exposure in Reliance originated. Contd.........
Key Aspects :- Multi discipline exposure, Opportunity, Proactive approach, Transfer, Ups&down
