GAIL director marketing interviews
Interviews will be held this month to select the new director marketing at GAIL, a post vacant since August 1 after BC Tripathi became company chairman.
PETROWATCH learns the Public Enterprises Selection Board (PESB) has fixed October 20, 21 and 22 for interviews. The PESB is short-listing eligible candidates out of nearly 40 who sent in their CVs by the August 17 deadline.
GAIL sent in the most: 29. IndianOil sent six, and one each came from ONGC, Engineers India and BG India.
Two were from other state-owned companies. GAIL sources tell us Prabhat Singh, former GAIL employee and currently at BG subsidiary Gujarat Gas is seen as a promising candidate.
“Singh maintains good relationships with everyone,†we hear. “It would be nice if he comes back at board level.
†Another source says M. Ravindran, CEO of GAIL retail gas subsidiary GAIL Gas, and general managers Rajeev Mathur and Ashutosh Karnatak are also touted as strong â€کinternal’ candidates.
