Petronet-LNG has shortlisted eleven of around 20 candidates who applied in September (2020) for its new director BD and marketing position as it looks to expand into LNG stations, CGD and the small-scale LNG business.

Ten of the 11 candidates are:

  1. Sanjeev Gupta - ED and head of corporate strategy at IndianOil

  3. Debashis Nanda - ED gas business at IndianOil

"The list still needs to be signed off by (acting managing director) VK Mishra," says a source. But Mishra is recovering from Covid-19.

"He has not attended the office for the last three weeks," he adds. Mishra tested positive for Covid-19 end-October and has been working from home since.

"He even appeared for the MD interviews virtually," we hear. After seeing the shortlist, Mishra raised several queries about the eligibility of some candidates.

"Our company's selection team will respond to Mishra's queries. Once he signs off, the process of calling the candidates for interview will begin."

Our source adds that after Mishra's comments, the final shortlist might not feature all the names on the preliminary shortlist of 11 candidates.
