Shell India has appointed Mansi Madan Tripathy as the new country chair of Shell India, effective October 1. Mansi will succeed Nitin Prasad who has been country chair since 2016.
“As country chair of Shell India, Mansi will oversee the Shell group of companies in India, in addition to her role as vice-president, Shell Lubricants for Asia Pacific. Mansi will relocate from Singapore to New Delhi, her home city, to take up the role,” the firm said.
A graduate from the National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra, Tripaty has an MBA in marketing from SP Jain Institute of Management and Research.
Prior to this, she was vice- president of Shell Lubricants Asia Pacific and has held other roles in the company, including managing director of Shell Lubricants India and country marketing officer. She joined the company from Procter & Gamble in 2012, where she held several regional and global director-level positions.
Meanwhile, Asia’s top refiner, Sinopec Corp , is not interested in acquiring Shell’s refinery or petrochemical plant in Singapore although it is keen on participating in a shale gas project in Saudi Arabia, the Chinese company’s president said on Monday.
