The king of oil and natural gas production ONGC (oil and natural gas cooperation) has taken a historic decision today. For the first time, since its formation, the production giant has appointed a female Chairman and CEO.
Alka Mittal, the Director for Human Resources (HR) at Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has been given the additional charge as the public sector undertaking’s Chairman and Managing Director (CMD).
This late-night development comes two days after Subhash Kumar, the Director (Finance) who was holding additional charge of CMD, superannuated on December 31, 2021.
She was the senior-most ONGC Board Member after Kumar’s retirement. She joined the ONGC Board on November 27, 2018, and was the first woman to hold the charge of a full-time Director in ONGC’s history.
