Essar is a 50+ year-old India-based conglomerate with 10,000+ employees managing assets across energy, infrastructure, metals & mining, and technology. The company generates US$15 billion in revenue and operates in eight countries. Tech stack reflects heavy-asset operations: Primavera P6, AutoCAD, PDMS, and plant engineering tools dominate, with AWS providing cloud backbone. Hiring is decelerating (3 roles in last 30 days vs. 12 active) and concentrated in engineering (7 roles) at senior/lead levels, alongside stretched visa and hiring-process pain points—suggesting organizational tightening during portfolio rebalancing toward green energy, hydrogen, and clean steel.
Essar develops and invests in large-scale infrastructure and energy assets, with current focus on transitioning toward hydrogen, green mobility, and sustainable steelmaking. The company operates refineries, power plants, steel mills, and transmission infrastructure across India and seven other countries. Employment base sits above 7,000. Over the past five years, Essar has monetized legacy assets and restructured its portfolio to position for the clean energy transition. Essar Foundation runs a parallel corporate social responsibility program spanning health, education, livelihood, and environmental initiatives across India.
Essar relies on project-management software (Primavera P6, Microsoft Project), CAD and 3D modeling tools (AutoCAD, Plant 3D, PDMS), plus AWS cloud, Excel, and Microsoft Office for corporate operations.
Essar is headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. The company operates in eight countries and employs over 7,000 people globally.
