NEW DELHI. Shri G. Krishnakumar, former Chairman and Managing Director of Bharat Petroleum, has been recognised as Fortune India’s Best CEO 2025 in the Oil and Gas sector, reflecting his people-centric and future-ready leadership that strengthened BPCL during a crucial phase for India’s energy-driven growth. Under his stewardship, BPCL advanced its transition from a traditional fuel supplier to a multi-energy enterprise, with strategic moves into petrochemicals, renewable energy ventures, digital transformation and global growth initiatives. Central to this transformation was Project Aspire, the roadmap he championed to “nurture the core with future big bets,” guiding BPCL’s reinvention and anchoring investments of ₹2.7 lakh crore across energy diversification, infrastructure development, operational excellence and customer-focused innovation, while supporting the company’s ambition to expand its share of India’s energy landscape.
