Day 1: Reliance's Jamnager Refinery






Day 1 took the group to Reliance's Jamnager refinery, the largest oil refinery in the world. The refinery is an hour flight away from Mumbai but no problem for this group. Reliance sent their jets for the team and you can see Stan entering one of the planes. He's clearly done this before.
While at the refinery, we received an overview from senior management of their operations and had time for a lengthy Q&A. We then received a tour of the plant. The highlight was possibly the trip to the top of one of the refinery's stacks. Here's one of our fearless leaders keeping tabs of the group and Pete thinking about a career in the oil business...






The trip ended in the "green zone" of the plant with a great spread of fresh fruits grown on the premises. This time gave us the opportunity to take a quick group photo.











We then headed back to Mumbai by plane and "cruised" through traffic to return back to the hotel. Dinner was in the hotel and we were joined by Mr. Shankar Narayanan from the Carlyle Group. It was a great 1st day and everyone was surprised by the huge Reliance operation as well as the hospitality that we received during the visit.
