ONGC & MRPL – Integration
Aligning Vision with Reality in a High-Stakes Acquisition
Description
When ONGC, India’s most profitable PSU, acquired the struggling MRPL oil rig, they faced a significant cultural and operational challenge. AMAAN’s role was to create an intervention that would seamlessly align ONGC’s mission with MRPL’s workforce, setting a new tone for success.
Approach
To communicate ONGC’s vision engagingly, AMAAN organized a two-day Kite Flying event, replacing traditional training with a hands-on experience that involved 150 department heads, along with their families. Day one showcased professional kite flyers, while day two involved employees building their own “professional kites” under guidance.
Results
This unique intervention resonated with the workforce, reinforcing ONGC’s ambitious mission tangibly. Performance metrics across departments increased by a remarkable 260%, solidifying the acquisition’s success.
