INDUSTRY REVIEWS

“HIMT team strives for highest training standards and has conducted pre-sea
courses responsibly. The college has a robust system in place for output
monitoring and continuous improvement, placing it among the select few maritime
training institutes, who respond to a changing maritime environment and bring
the best value to its stakeholders. It has been an opportunity for us, too. I
proudly announce that the outcome of this inspection has been very positive and
HIMT has been assigned A1 rating which stands for OUTSTANDING”

DR. PIYUSH RAJ

system. The atmosphere in HIMT is vibrant and conducive to introducing the best
of new technology whilst retaining the age old maritime traditions, On behalf of

MR. V. GANAPATHI RAO

VP Technical, Goodearth Maritime Ltd

Sanjeev Vakil is doing an excellent job, especially when it comes to post-sea
training. I’ve heard that his training quality is good, and there is no doubt
about it. Chennai is an important Indian maritime centre and Sanjeev, through
HIMT, is playing a vital role inmaritime training there. Further, he has always
been supportive of the Institute of Marine Engineers India (IMEI) and its
activities.

DR. BK SAXENA

Principal-Tolani Maritime Institute (TMI) & President-IMEI

Sanjeev Vakil is an innovative entrepreneur and astute businessman cooled with a
strong sense of professional responsibility and foresight. In the field of
maritime training he has excelled remarkably well.

CAPT. RAJESH TANDON

MD-V.Ships & Operations Director-V.Group Manpower Services

Sanjeev Vakil started HIMT in a very small way and has built it up to be one of
the biggest maritime institutes in India- all this because of his sheer hard
work and forthright vision. Candidates completing their pre and post sea
education at HIMT have always had a good word for the Institute and Sanjeev. My
best wishes are always with him for continuing the good work in maritime
education.

CAPT. SHYAM JAIRAM

Director, Seaarland Management Services (India)

Congratulations to Sanjeev Vakil for making it on the Cover of Maritime Matrix.

in our country and he certainly deserves this accolade. I wish him and his
entire team at HIMT the very best for the future.

MR. KAUSHIK SEAL

Head of Systems Certification-Hub India, Germanischer Lloyd

Sanjeev Vakil is a very versatile personality with many firsts to his credit in
the field of maritime education. He remains humble and rooted to the ground
despite the successes he has achieved. This, in itself, is no small measure due
to his persevering nature,unstinted hard work and an honest approach towards
teaching and trainin

CAPT. MOHAN NAIK

Director-Dynacom Tankers Management

Ever since I attended a revalidation course at HIMT around the year 2000, I have
held Sanjeev Vakil in the highest professional regard. His attention to detail,
his clear commitment and his obvious pursuit of excellence have taken HIMT to a
premier position today- I am not surprised at this.

CAPT. MANU MAHAJAN

Sanjeev Vakil has done a marvelous and enviable job of creating a Mariners
Training Institute that has steadily expanded- coveringall pre and post-sea
courses. He has improved quality and systems based on feedback from the

team and on call. HIMT’s popularity is evidenced by those attending revalidation
courses from the length and breadth of the country.

CAPT. S PULLAT

I have known Sanjeev for over 20 years now As a chief engineer with Sanmar he
had come to me expressing his desire and intentions of starting a business of
his own. It was apt at that time that HIMT became a reality. His passion,
dedication to make it succeed, his families’ involvement and his acute business
sense are proof today of HIMT’s success story. A true professional who has given
all his life and time to the industry, soft spoken, amiable and pleasant by
nature Sanjeev can be proud of his achievements. I wish him and HIMT well to

MR. K. SHANKAR

President-Shipping, The India Cements Ltd

I know Sanjeev since 1998, when we were doing a Training of Trainers and
Assessors (TOTA) course together. There’s no doubt that Vakil has come up the
hard way and he is doing quite well with competency courses. Indeed, I marvel at
the way he has expanded to a sprawling campus from a small place. I wish him all
the best for his future endeavors.

CAPT. SRIRANG MANJESHWAR

Director-Training, Wallem Maritime Training, India

Sanjeev Vakil has shown great business acumen, team building and leadership
skills in developing HIMT to become India’s leadingmaritime training
institution. His dedication and zeal to attain his goals have taken HIMT to a
pinnacle position among institutes in India. Having followed the growth of HIMT
at close quarters since its inception, I have no doubt in my mind that, with
Sanjeev at the helm with his committed team, HIMT will soon become the premier
training institution in the maritime world.

Chennai is proud of Sanjeev Vakil’s genuine commitment to deliver a good and
consistent quality of maritime training to HIMT’s student is commendable. He is
a great role model of how good business is synonymous with quality training and

“I congratulate HIMT for becoming the first CIP certificate holder. It was a
team effort of the officials of the Directorate to introduce CIP and it gives me
a great sense of satisfaction. We develop a tool and the entire team of DGS got
into the act and started working on it. The main purpose of this exercise is to
identify whether the institutes are complying with the criteria.”

SHRI GAUTAM CHATTERJEE IAS

Director General of Shipping

CIP is a very concentrated programme. Students, stakeholders, maritime
institutes and companies will all benefit from this programme. HIMT has given
its best, has achieved outstanding grades and has set a benchmark for others. We
are happy to have had a successful start “A stupendous turnaround! We sincerely
wish that alongwith imparting technical knowledge, human values, positive
attitudes & healthy habits are inculcated.”

SHRI AMITAVA BANERJEE

It is 1st of its kind. It is an extremely welcomed initiative; HIMT put itself
forward and took advantage of it. HIMT has set an example for the other
institutes. It is a robust evaluation program. Due diligence provided from this
will guide the rest. This will also attract the best talent. This is yet another
instance of reformed process in which DGS is trying to systemize various
training and education program”
