Our People

I started my journey with many hopes and dreams in my eyes as a graduate engineer trainee in July 2011 in Renukoot.

These years have been a real learning experience for me as a young engineer. I worked in our 6 X 150 MW CPP power plant, starting from documentation jobs in electrical divison and advancing to a project leader. My job profile includes planning; resource management of erection, testing and commissioning; chief electrical inspector to the government inspection of units in electrical; and leading a team of 30, including contractual workers.

As a woman, I have never experienced fear or gender bias in my plant. I proudly say, “Hindalco is really a very safe place for any woman employee.” The next turning point that came in my journey was the Internal Recruitment Scheme.

I got selected as a manager for Technical Services, Captive Power Plant. Now I am involved in ‘breakdown of electrical equipment to condition monitoring of electrical equipment’. My belief: “Gender is not a barrier to growth at Hindalco. Gender equality is real here.”
