Abstract
The authors highlight how natural gas (NG) industry across the world is facing a severe crunch of talented, skilled, and experienced manpower. The industry is losing experience by way of superannuation of experienced employees, and losing talent to other industries as oil and gas sector is no longer a preferred sector among younger generation. The chapter discusses critical issues and emerging challenges related to human resource requirements for NG sector in India. Further, the authors throw some lights on human resource demand, skilled manpower availability, academic and professional institutions offering specialized courses/training programs and skill sets required to succeed in the sector. The authors discuss about the ways to address prominent HR challenges and meet existing gap in the NG value chain in India.
