Energy and infrastructure represent the backbone of any economy. Given the transformative role these industries play in the world economy, perhaps no other sector creates as much prosperity and abundance in as many lives.

I was fortunate to have joined the Oil & Gas industry at a time when the Energy sector was starting to boom. Set-up in 1986, Sievert, my maiden entrepreneurial venture, and first foray into the energy sector, went on to become a market leader in non-destructive testing, establishing an iron-hold not only across all of India, but also most of the Middle East. I was humbled by the success the company enjoyed, and the acknowledgement and accolades that the industry bestowed on me. Sievert was finally bought over by global testing leaders, Bureau Veritas, in 2012-2013, after enjoying nearly three decades of consistent industry leadership.

Armed with decades of knowledge and leadership in the Oil & Gas sector, we continued to put it to good use through Gemini Energy. Today, Gemini Energy operates successfully in Oman, Abu Dhabi and India. We are fortunate to have the approval of major oil companies, including the ADNOC group, OGC and PDO for mechanical and electrical supplies.

One could say that my involvement in the energy sector has played a formative role in my journey. Sievert and Gemini Energy allowed me to engage with diverse markets and industry sub-verticals, and set the pace for my future entrepreneurial journey.
