ONGC –HRM SYSTEM

Our People

"Not only had India... set up her own machinery for oil exploration and
exploitation... an efficient oil commission had been built where a large
number of bright young men and women had been trained and they
were doing good work."

- Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister to Lord Mountbatten, on
ONGC (1959).

Today, ONGC is the flagship company of India; and making this possible
is a dedicated team of nearly 33,000 professionals who toil round the
clock. It is this toil which amply reflects in the aspirations and
performance figures of ONGC. The company has adopted progressive
policies in scientific planning, acquisition, utilization, training and
motivation of the team. At ONGC, everybody matters, every soul counts.

ONGC has a unique distinction of being a company with in-house service

capabilities in all the activity areas of exploration and production of oil &
gas and related oil-field services.

Needless to emphasize, this was made possible by the men & women
behind the machine. Over 18,000 technically-competent experienced
scientists and engineers, mostly from distinguished Universities /
Institutions of India and abroad form the core of our executive profile.
They include geologists, geophysicists, geochemists, drilling engineers,
reservoir engineers, petroleum engineers, production engineers,
engineering & technical service providers, financial and human resource
experts and IT professionals.
