ABOUT ABISHEK GIRISH

Outlook • I believe the world’s biggest challenges are still rooted in basic human needs — water, energy, accessibility, healthcare, and food. • Solving these challenges needs strong engineering foundations combined with innovative management principles — the exact intersection I’m pursuing through my Master of Engineering Management at Purdue University.What I Bring • Engineering & Operations Expertise: Lean Six Sigma Black Belt with hands-on experience in global operations, project management, and process transformation. • Proven Impact: From leading global planning & scheduling at ExxonMobil (ideation → pilot → scale-up) to building sustainability-driven solutions. • Cross-Cultural Experience: Shaped by roles as an NCC cadet, student leader, and through collaborations with teams across India, Europe, Singapore, the US, and Guyana. • Commitment to Impact: Whether it’s mentoring students or driving organizational change, I aim to be the face of positive transformation.Core Values & Beliefs • You don’t know what you don’t know — stay humble and learn from every opportunity. • Kaizen in real life — continuous improvement as both a professional and a person. • If not me, now, then who, when? — bias for action and leading change where it matters. • Simple & lean is better — innovate to make life easier for everyone.Recognition & Contribution • Gold Medalist & Best Outgoing Student. • Multiple awards at ExxonMobil (MRI, APAC workshops). • 4 research papers presented at international forums in Sweden, Dubai, India, and Thailand. • Winner — Viswakarma Awards (low-flush toilet for water conservation). • Asia Top 3 — HRI’23 Student Design Competition (accessibility robot for transportation hubs). • Winner — Empower Student Design Challenge (accessible reading solution for the visually impaired). • Active mentor, supporting underprivileged students with learning opportunities.
