Sanchita Banerjee is a woman from the Oil and Gas sector. When she joined her employer as an engineer in 1985, she was the first woman engineer to join her department. What’s more, she went on to become the first woman to lead that department, around 25 years later.
At the point when we met her, she was also the first and only Petroleum & Explosives Safety Organization certified person in her organization’s LPG plant. What we learn from her is that you may not have other women role models before you, but there is always an opportunity to become one as long as you upskill and add value to the roles that you undertake.
Talking about her journey, Sanchita says, "I kept my focus intact on knowledge and wisdom and kept updating myself on technological improvements in my sector and successful projects done by others."
