Important think in successful leader is to realize the strength of the team, must understand the risk and uncertainty of the business and also contemplate mitigation plan.It is better to be vaguely correct than to be precisely wrong.

My family background

I was born in rural India where 24 hours electricity supply, roads,good schools and health services are still found in dreams. But my parents realized the value of education which can provide vertical mobility. Therefore, acquiring education and becoming good human being was the parental lessons for me since childhood.

Degree that I recommend

I have Ph D degree and working since last three decades in Oil and gas sector. I find reading books which I could not do earlier would be right thing for me at this stage.

Couple of years from now

I am holding senior technical position of the discipline. I think I will continue with this.

Thoughts on Education system of our country

Education system in India is good and bad both. Good for urban system where good schools and facilities are available and for rural area where at many places still primitive. Less creative. More bookish and dogmatic.

My role model

No specific role model. Those who made place in every field of life despite all the adversatities like NS Murthy, M S Dhoni, Kapil Dev, M M Malviya, M K Gandhi, Einstein etc

My achievements

I am modest in claiming the achievements. I consider my working North Africa good as I imparted knowledge in the university while working in in the industry despite very busy schedule. I find it as a positive contribution to the society.

My strongest skill

My strong points are Oil and gas field development and management.Also Improved and Enhanced oil recovery.

Influenced by

My professors in the university and Prof O P Malaviya whose guidance created interest in reading and transforming into an rationale way of thinking.

Important lesson learned

My biggest lesson learnt is that for a average persons with meager resources, it is education which can bring him/her up in the society and can also provide substance to the life.

Initiative to develop a country

Honesty, sincerity and team work. Indians are good individually but mostly failure as as a team. We see extremes in India. Somehow we lack in acknowledging the contributions from others and this attitude creates professional insecurity and leads to all sorts of the problem.
