Rahul Ranjan, Academic Associate, IIM, Kashipur

I started my academic journey in Mechanical Engineering from SGVU. At the University, I was given an opportunity to explore my academic potential as well as my co-curricular interest. It gave me freedom to choose my career, explore my talents and gain a wider perspective of the world around me.

After getting my Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from SGVU in 2012, I started working as Seismic Source Engineer at Hind Geophysical Serviced Pvt. Ltd., observing and calibrating preventative maintenance of shipping and seismic equipment employed in oil and gas exploration techniques, offshore in deep seas. I observe that working with quality and world-class technicians (European and American experts) gave me an insightful and influential experience at the early stage of my career. I worked on different ships for data acquisition and marine seismic equipment handling and production. I also worked as a Business Development Manager in Ranskills Knowledge Pvt. Ltd. in 2015-16 and then in Shri Balaji Constructions in 2017.

After finishing up my Masters in Energy Economics from University of Petroleum & Energy studies in 2017, I landed at my current job as Academic Associate at IIM, Kashipur, Nanital, Uttrakhand.
