M.K. Joshi

B. Tech (Chemical Engineering) – IIT, Kanpur.

Mr MK Joshi graduated in Chemical engineering from IIT Kanpur in 1972 and joined Engineers India Limited (EIL) immediately thereafter. He worked at EIL till his superannuation in July 2010, at which time he was Director (Technical), a position that he had held since January 2005. During his tenure at EIL, he was actively associated in activities from concept to commissioning for various projects in the Hydrocarbon Processing Sector.

He has had extensive exposure to a wide range of technologies from major overseas process licensors and this has helped to identify areas where indigenous capabilities can be developed, so that repetitive technology import can be reduced. He was directly involved in a large number of grass root and brown field projects in the oil and gas sectors and had the direct responsibility for the design of process units that were set up for the first time in India using in-house expertise.

In addition, he is actively involved in providing faculty support for training programmes intended for fresh graduates or refresher programmes for mid level engineers, besides providing specialist support to interview panels in different organizations, including EIL.
