Rakesh G. — CEO

I am a results-driven General Manager with 19+ years of progressive leadership across Industrial Gas, Oil & Gas, Petrochemicals, and EPC sectors — managing project portfolios from modular metering systems to membrane-based gas separation plants. My career has been defined by one consistent thread: delivering complex, high-value projects to the most demanding technical specifications — across global organisations including Linde Engineering India, Larsen & Toubro, and Emerson Process Management. What I bring to the table: ✔ End-to-end EPC/EPCM project lifecycle management — from kick-off to commissioning handover ✔ Deep expertise in Air Separation Unit (ASU) projects — I&C package expediting, vendor qualification, and FAT management across global OEMs ✔ Global workshare coordination — aligning engineering deliverables across Linde's international network in Europe, Asia & the Americas ✔ ₹150 Cr+ procurement management — with rigorous TCO discipline and supplier performance benchmarking ✔ Stakeholder management at the highest levels — EIL, Technip, IOCL, HRRL, NRL, Shell, GAIL, ONGC, and international clients ✔ Technically credentialed — M.Tech in Control Systems (Distinction), NIT Kurukshetra — enabling me to lead P&ID, HAZOP, and 3D model reviews with full engineering authority I am equally comfortable in a project war room resolving a critical equipment deviation, at a global task force meeting driving cross-entity schedule alignment, or mentoring the next generation of project engineers. 📍 Based in Gurugram | Open to: Pan India · Singapore · Europe / UK 📩 rguind18@gmail.com |
