BPCL is more into profit making and customer satisfaction, in opposition with other psu being employee
centric. As far as I consulted my seniors in both OMCs, I found that BPCL works more like a private
company, focusing on result and it's brand image. Which will give me more opportunity to grow as a
employee and on personal level as well. Here markering strategies are more aggresive thats why it is
having highest market share in branded fuel sector and I believe the core values of company are the
reason behind it's success
