Ravi Sankaran: Wind Energy Development at Shell Oil
Ravi Sankaran is a business development manager at Shell Wind Energy, a subsidiary of Shell Oil Co. (Houston, TX). His company, he notes, understands the need to look beyond fossil fuels for future energy needs.
Sankaran is responsible for development activities related to Shell’s wind energy projects in the southwestern U.S. desert. Since 2006 he’s handled essentials like land leasing, permitting, interconnection and power marketing to the point of commercial operation.
He has a BA in math from the University of Virginia, and first became interested in wind energy while working on his 2003 MBA at the University of Texas at Austin. “I did an internship in the wind industry,” he says.
“At the time there weren’t many MBA students with an interest in green technology. I was one of maybe five students in a class of 400.” Now, he notes with a smile, “MBA schools have green energy clubs.”

Hey Ravi,
I am very impressed with your work in the Wind Energy Sector.
I am exploring opportunities where I could work for a Wind Energy company and do my MBA in Alternate Energy.
I would appreciate if you could guide me on this path and it will be great if I can send you a synopsis of my profile.
Thanks for your time,
Regards,
Richard Fernandes
