I am delighted to provide my recommendation for Mr. Ashwin Kumar Sankhwar for his exemplary performance during his tenure at Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC). As the Executive Director at ONGC, I was able to closely observe Ashwin’s performance and his exceptional professional attributes. While at ONGC, Ashwin served as a Superintending Engineer (Instrumentation), where he exhibited exceptional competency in managing maintenance activities for instrumentation and control systems. His deep knowledge and proficiency in this domain have been evident in his ability to effectively coordinate and supervise maintenance tasks, ensuring the smooth operation of critical equipment. Ashwin's multidisciplinary expertise was particularly evident during his posting at the Engine and Transmission Repair Section, where he showcased his ability to work seamlessly in a diverse team environment. His collaborative approach and strong communication skills fostered effective teamwork and enhanced overall productivity. Also, he has strong experience in procurement activities at the Central Workshop, which ensured the timely procurement of materials and services for instrumentation system maintenance and operation. His efficient procurement strategies, contract negotiations, and vendor management led to cost savings and streamlined operations. One of Ashwin's notable strengths is his remarkable project management skills. As a key member of the project management team, he played a vital role in the successful implementation of the combustion management system and the re-designing of the Heater Treater Process Package. His ability to prepare comprehensive project proposals, create detailed technical scope of work, and carry out thorough techno-commercial bid evaluations, coupled with his effective management and collaboration skills, greatly contributed to the successful execution of projects, ensuring timely completion within budget while maintaining the highest standards of quality and compliance. Moreover, Ashwin's commitment to continuous improvement and innovation is commendable. His analytical thinking and attention to detail enabled him to identify areas for process improvement. Ashwin played an integral role in developing and implementing innovative solutions, resulting in enhanced operational efficiency and reduced costs. His dedication to excellence and relentless pursuit of improvement made him a valuable asset to the organization. He was awarded the Chairman and Managing Director’s Young Executive of the Year Award in 2019. It is with great pleasure that I recommend Ashwin Kumar Sankhwar as an invaluable asset to any organization. His exceptional work ethic, dedication to excellence, and proven ability to deliver outstanding results make him an ideal candidate for senior management roles. I have no doubt that Ashwin will continue to make significant contributions and excel in all his future endeavours.
