ExxonMobil, one of the world’s largest publicly traded international oil and gas companies, sought my expertise to highlight the journey of Dhaval Bhandari in an employee spotlight feature. This article delves into Dhaval’s profound connection to the energy sector, shaped by his father’s career with India’s national oil company and his own path through chemical engineering and ExxonMobil.

Growing up in cities such as Chennai, Delhi, and Mumbai, Dhaval experienced frequent power shortages that underscored the critical importance of energy security. These early experiences fueled his dedication to energy research, driving him to focus on advanced technologies aimed at reducing carbon emissions while meeting global energy needs.

As a researcher at ExxonMobil, Dhaval is at the forefront of developing groundbreaking technologies, including innovative membrane filtration methods. These advancements hold the potential to revolutionize energy processing by minimizing energy consumption and emissions. Inspired by past breakthroughs like membrane desalination, Dhaval is committed to scaling up new technologies for practical, real-world applications.
