Shell Technology India

Shell Technology India Pvt. Ltd. is a group company of Royal Dutch Shell plc, The Hague, Netherlands. Located in Bangalore, it is the third Shell global centre for technology after Houston, USA and Amsterdam, The Netherlands - delivering advanced technical studies, projects and services for Shell around the world as well as supporting Shell activities in India. The services span upstream exploration and production activities as well as downstream chemical, gas and refinery operations.

Shell Technology India provides access to cutting-edge Indian talent and resources to Shell worldwide at its new research & development facilities in Bangalore. By the end of 2007, Shell Technology India has employed about 500 professionals and has plans to grow over 1000 in the near future. Recruitment at Shell Technology India is currently focusing on graduates in India and experienced Indian professionals from around the world. The integrated technology centre offers high-end technical careers in a global environment for people who see India as their base.

The Shell approach

The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that energy use could grow by more than half over the next quarter century, and possibly double by 2050. A large portion of this growth looks set to come from Asian countries, in particular China and India - as they continue to industrialise and experience rapid economic growth.

In Shell, we are committed to doing our part by finding environmentally and socially responsible ways to meet the world's future energy needs. Shell is one of the largest independent oil and natural gas enterprises, operating in more than 140 countries.

Ranked among the world's major chemicals companies, Shell produced more than 3% of global gas and nearly 3% of the world's oil in 2005. Besides, we have an interest in almost 50 refineries, and a network of some 45,000 service stations. Shell has the broadest portfolio of hydrogen, bio-fuels, wind and solar power activities of any major energy company.

Shell Technology India

One way Shell addresses the energy challenge is through its strategy to Grow East-- to uncover the expanding markets in the region. To help fulfill new opportunities, Shell has created a company called Shell Technology India.  As part of the Shell Group's technical community, the new technology centre delivers high-end technical studies, projects and technical services for Shell across the globe, as well as supporting Shell activities in India. The centre offers services that span upstream exploration and production activities as well as downstream gas, refinery and chemical operations and research projects.

Chief Executive
Jeroen van der Veer

"Our experience illustrates three things about developing energy technologies. It takes long term commitment. Being integrated matters. And it opens further opportunities.

A wider challenge is the industry's shortage of qualified and experienced people. In North America and Europe, fewer young people pursue scientific and technical education. In the US, for example, the number of university students studying petroleum engineering has fallen by more than 80% since the early 1990s."

State-of-the-art technical facilities

Based in Bangalore -- India's renowned technology hub -- Shell Technology India is recruiting both graduate and experienced technical professionals to join in the exciting global projects that will become a significant part of what the company offers. Currently located in a leased facility at Bangalore, the company will eventually move into a custom-built, state-of-the-art technology centre.

In line with Shell's other global technology centers, Shell Technology India has become home to a wide spectrum of technical disciplines. It provides professional support to a wide range of global projects.

Shell Technology India develops niche areas of technical work with the objective of becoming a center of excellence in those fields. Part of its programme provides cutting-edge downstream research and development, as well as working with the latest upstream technologies and processes.

Balancing supply and demand in growing markets

A large number of engineers and scientists graduate annually from top class Indian universities that are ranked amongst the best in the world. Shell Technology India fully recognises the potential of this highly qualified graduate population. The company looks for the best to become part of its truly global organisation - offering opportunities to work both within India as well as in some other exciting and challenging locations in the world. The Indian recruitment programme complements our hiring efforts in other parts of the world to enable us to continue to service customers globally.

Accessing Indian talent

Shell Technology India provides a starting point for cutting-edge Indian talent to become an integral part of the wider Shell Group.

The company is currently focusing on recruitment of graduates in India and experienced Indian professionals from around the world. Having started its India operations in 2006, the company aims to grow its technical workforce to over 1,000 in a short time.

New recruits from premier Indian technical institutes have already found their way into Shell Technology India. The recruits began their new careers by taking part in an intensive induction programme at different Shell technology centres across the globe.

As part of the induction programme, all new employees have the opportunity to meet Shell experts, learn about Shell culture and ways of working, hone their technical skills and choose their specialist areas in line with their interests and the needs of the business. The recruits then become part of a fast-paced and challenging environment with excellent growth opportunities.
