The audience were encouraged to ask questions with the ‘CEO who gets it’ and a lively and interactive session followed.
Following the Chennai visit, KBR’s full Executive Leadership Team and Board of Directors held a town hall for the employees of KBR’s India Technology Centre at Guragon (ITCg) and Pune (ITCp) on October 23.

Lamp lighting signifies leading from darkness to light, wisdom and knowledge.
After brief speeches by Subas Das, Managing Director, ITC, and Doug Kelly, President, Technology Solutions, Stuart Bradie delivered his town hall speech followed by Q&A for more than 45 minutes. KBR’s 230 employees in Gurgaon and 50 in Pune had many questions – showing the level of interest and appreciation in the leadership team’s visit to Guragon.
Avijit Ashesh, Sr. Technical Professional - Piping, said, “It was a privilege and honor to be a part of this historic event, which was packed with optimism and positivity. As KBR completes its centenary, Stuart’s message on the auspicious occasion rang clear, that is – KBR as a team has delivered a hundred years of service to mankind through excellence and innovation which has contributed to a proud history. It’s great to work with an organization with such a clear vision and mission.”
