Traditionally considered a male-dominated sector, the oil and gas industry has long been associated with heavy machinery, challenging landscapes, and demanding work environments. However, women at Cairn are reshaping this narrative, making significant strides in every facet of the industry.
From exploring India’s hydrocarbon reserves to drilling wells, supervising large-scale projects, and leading operations, women professionals at Cairn are at the forefront of driving innovation and contributing to India’s energy independence vision, #EnergyAatmanirbharta. Their presence across operations serves as a powerful inspiration for young women aspiring to build careers in this dynamic sector, echoing the call to #ExploreIndiaWithCairn.
