 Hello everyone. So today I am joined by Shivam and Perni. So Shivam today will help us go through a day in the life of a mining engineer from India. So Shivam, why don't you first introduce yourself, take us through about your education background, where you work and what you do in your role. Okay. Good evening everyone. It's morning here. Thank you very much for such a warm welcome. So to joint interest examination, I got into Indian School of Mines at Indian Institute of Technology at Dhanbat in 2015. I graduated in 2019 in Bachelor of Technology in Mineral Engineering. I joined in Sansingh as a subsidiary of Vedanta Group couple of months after the graduation. So HLL is India's one of the largest producer of zinc, lead and silver. And one of the largest producer of zinc, lead and silver and India's only producer of zinc, lead and silver. So currently I'm working as a business analyst for lead metal, but for past one year I had worked as a mineral processing engineer in beneficiation plant. Awesome. Cool. So from mining engineering to mineral processing. So can you take us through a day in the life of what you do at work? So for example, that you come into work, what's the first thing you do all the way to the end of the day? Okay. So my day-to-day job was to quality optimization, process maintenance, production maintenance, engineering and creation. Along with that safety is important culture of operation. So for that we have to maintain certain protocols and standards while doing operations. So for that and in your day-to-day life as a process engineer you have a team of people who work along with you from mechanical to implementation in electrical engineers. And along with that we also have safety culture maintenance. So there is a whole team of engineers, pretors, supervisors and workers who maintain the operation. First when I get into the job on the day in the morning, then first thing I do is get to know who are all the people on duty. And if there is any carry forward maintenance from yesterday or then I visit the plant and see what are the critical equipment and how they do their health take-up. And then from there we do maintenance job, then analyze data, maintain the quality of the whole process and this is a rotation circuit. And that's all my day-to-day job is. Awesome, cool. So in terms of the software to use for data set and optimization, what sort of software do you use? Actually there is a big control room through which the whole plant is maintained. It has four or five computers in it and from there it has process optimization software and data monitoring software which are already installed in it. And I think the software we use generally like from Honeyvale or EBB from these companies. Gotcha, so there are like the pre-installed automation software, right? Yeah, yeah. Okay, got it. Okay, so what's the favorite part about your job? Like what excites you the most? In my day-to-day job my favorite part is quality optimization because almost every factor in the plant affects the quality of the concentrate that we produce. So my favorite part that excites me is to find out what is really affecting, go deep into it and solve the problem that really excites me in day-to-day life. Awesome, yeah, problem solving, that's definitely something that we all engineers like to do. And then last question is what advice do you have for aspiring mining engineers, whether they want to go into mineral processing or mining engineering? What advice do you have for those people? My advice is be optimistic about the industry. The industry has a lot to offer. People haven't really seen the potential it has to our engineers' minds. And I think we have barely scratched the surface of what it has to offer. The industry is going through transformation of digitalization and innovation. And I think it is a really great opportunity for bright in mind graduating to offer new ideas and suggestions for improvements. So I'll say just be optimistic and give your best. Well said, well said. Well, Shavam, I want to thank you again very much for doing this interview. An interview with an Indian mining engineer is one of the most highly requested topics. So I'm sure this video will provide a lot of value to many people. So thank you once again. Thank you. Thank you so much for having me, Juan.
