About Me: 
This writing about me today is giving very similar excitement which I had felt 42 years ago in 1974 when I started working and it feels like it was just yesterday. During these 42 years of my working life I had the opportunity to work with esteemed organizations like RCF (Mumbai, India), SABIC-Sharq (Saudi Arabia) and Samsung Engineering (Seoul, South Korea) and clients like ADNOC & ExxonMobil in the field of Petrochemicals & Oil & Gas involving Maintenance Engineering and Project Management. During the work and travel related to the work I had the opportunity to interact and work with many different nationalities working at different levels in the organizations. I consider myself lucky to have such wonderful opportunities to work and simultaneously learn a lot professionally and otherwise. And this association with "Prowisdom Growth" provides another exciting opportunity to share with professionals whatever I have learnt so far and more than that an opportunity to keep learning myself.
