proudly celebrates the extraordinary journey of Shri Vivek Chandrakant Tongaonkar, Director (Finance), as he marks his superannuation, a moment that signifies the culmination of a legacy built on numbers, nuance, and unwavering financial stewardship.
From the intricate corridors of offshore project finance to the strategic helm of ONGC and its group entities, including MRPL, Shri Tongaonkar charted a path defined by precision, integrity, and quiet authority. An Electrical Engineer and MBA by qualification, he joined ONGC in 1987 and went on to shape the financial backbone of some of the organisation’s most complex operations.
His nearly four-decade-long journey spans offshore construction projects, joint venture finance, corporate accounts, taxation, and strategic financial governance. From handling finance for Panna-Mukta & Tapti JVs to steering financial operations across Assam, Western Onshore Basin, Mumbai High, Corporate Offices, and contributing to group-level financial oversight, he was never just managing accounts, he was enabling decisions that powered ONGC’s growth.
In leadership roles including Chief Offshore Finance, CFO, Chief Corporate Finance, and ultimately Director (Finance), Shri Tongaonkar played a pivotal role in strengthening financial systems, ensuring fiscal discipline, and aligning financial strategy with ONGC’s long-term vision across its ecosystem.
With every balance sheet strengthened, every project enabled, and every system refined, he has left an imprint that goes far beyond designation. He leaves behind not just a function, but a legacy of financial prudence, institutional strength, and enduring trust.
Once an , always an ONGCian.
