However, UPES is unique in the respect that it has the unflinching support of
the corporates, associations, societies and individual professionals in the
Energy and Allied sectors.
The industry provides UPES in multiple ways; from allowing access to their
vast knowledge bases and valuable experience to field visits in otherwise
inaccessible installations; from laboratory equipment, books and sports
facilities to scholarships and endowments.
Corporations have endowed UPES with financial as well as knowledge assistance
and we are grateful for their continued contribution. In fact, many
scholarships have been set up by professionals in their individual capacity as
well.
Petronet LNG (PLL) has sanctioned an endowment of Rs. 2 crores to establish a
Chair-Professorship in the LNG business. With this magnanimous help from PLL,
UPES has appointed Mr. Tom James, Principal with Deloitte, UK in the area of
Energy Trading and Price Risk Management as the Chair-Professor.
