T
he Business Process Excellence 
Centre, BPEC, was formally  
launched by Mr. S Varadarajan, 
Chairman & Managing Director in 
July 2015. Evolving from an idea, 
to a full blown Centre in the space 
of three years, this is the hub for 
all transactional processes that 
are common across businesses, is 
standardized and consolidated on to a
process platform, in order to gain 
efficiency and effectiveness.
This Centre will provide business 
services to the rest of BPCL, enabling
individuals at locations to concentrate 
on core activities. A formal  

inauguration, by Mr. S. Varadarajan, 
our C&MD, was held on 1st July, 2015 
to mark the migration of Invoice 
Processing for the Western Region 
to BPEC. The event was graced 
by Mr. K.K. Gupta, Director (M),    
Mr. S.P. Gathoo, Director (HR),    
Mr. P. Balasubramanian, Director (F),    
Mr. Manoj Pant, then CVO, Mr. Kishor 
Chitale, CEO, LBS, Capgemini (India
& Middle East), as well as senior 
management of BPCL across Business 
Units and Entities.
While Mr. S. Varadarajan unveiled 
the BPEC plaque, Mr. K. Sivakumar 
outlined the BPEC journey.  
Mr. M.M. Somaya, ED (Aviation) with his team,    
Mr. Vijay Ranjan QCM, and Mr. S.P. Singh, Dy QCM Aviation 
receiving the first batch of in-house developed WDCs from 
the CRDC team – Dr. S Bhargava, GM CRDC, Dr. Sudha 
Tyagi, Shalini Gupta, D.T. Gokak, V. Ravikumar and Bharat 
Sajjan. The in-house development of the Water Detection 
Capsules (WDCs) by R&D has enhanced self-sufficiency and 
thrown open fresh options for the BU. WDCs are a critical 
component of aviation operations at all stages – receipt, 
storage and delivery of ATF or Jet A1. These capsules are 
used to detect presence of water up to levels of 15 ppm, a 
mandatory requirement by DGCA. Erratic supply by limited 
number of vendors was posing problems and it was decided 
to explore in-house options.
