Vijay Patel (VIO1524)

I am Vijay Patel from Vadodara. I studied B.E.: Civil & Irrigation Water Management from MSU of Baroda, Vadodara, India. (Grade: First class with distinction, 1995). Then I studied MBA-Financial management from ASU of America, Vadodara, India (Final grade India: B+, Part-time, 2001).

In addition, I went to Germany and studied M.S.-Environmental and resource management from Brandenburg University of Technology, Cottbus, Brandenburg, Germany (ECTS Credits: 29/120, 2005). Finally, I finished M.S.-Environmental technologies from the same government, high ranked, exclusive technical university of Cottbus, Germany. (ECTS Grade:2.7/4.0, 2007). The Master’s thesis topic is: Greenhouse Gas emissions allowance trading schemes in Europe and USA. - A comparison of the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) and Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiatives (RGGI) of the USA. The M.S. study is a part of the environmental law & energy economics, and it is all about Climate change, Global warming, Sustainability, Renewable energy and so on.

Then, I started a Doctorate course at the chair of environmental law, before coming back to India, but I did not complete it because I had not returned to continue. Later on, after living some years in Germany, a couple of months in the USA and other European countries (held 10 Yrs. B1/B2 of the USA and C-visit of UK visa), I came back to India.

Regarding my work, I worked as a site engineer for two years after graduating from civil engineering. Then, I worked as a Gujarat government Road and Building department registered under (C) class & industrial civil contractor for about seven years. The government contracts were carried out by tendering from state, district, panchayat and government undertaking industries.

Later on, after coming back from Germany, I did Job as a technical auditor with SGS India. My work was to validate, verify and certify carbon credits projects of Clean Development Mechanism administered by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Presently, I am an advisor and consultant for Carbon credits, Environmental Social & Governance (ESG), Sustainability, Biodiversity, Nature and GHG emissions reduction projects. I am also in to carbon emissions offset trading and project development.

I like to characterize me as an intelligent, confident, professional, responsible and ambitious person. Trying out new things is sort of my interest, and I get a thrill out of adventure and experiment. I like to try new things at least once to check if it interests me.
I am a focused individual who believes in planning for the future, instead of being surprised by it. My friends also describe me as young-looking (like around 37 years or so) and they get surprised when they come to know my real age!!

My hobbies are rifle shooting and watching football. I like hanging out with friends and eating out. I am a foodie and do cook delicious spicy items as and when I want to enjoy them.

About Life Partner Preferences:

I am interested in meeting an independent and self-made individual, who has a positive attitude towards life and career. I am looking for someone who is highly educated, preferably to postgraduate, doctorate or post-doctoral level in medicine or technology.

A professional, who is working or worked in a corporate or MNC and who want to continue to work after marriage as well. I am well versed with Windows software as a part of my paperless documentation, so I expect someone to have basic digital work skills.

I support an equal relationship in all aspects from sharing the homework to expenses and I do expect the same from my soul mate. Likewise, I am seeking someone who can financially sustain her life on her own and she should balance her personal and professional life.

I am interested in someone who is very well acquainted with the Western & European culture, lifestyle and social system and want to accept it.

I am searching for someone, who agrees with my following preferences:
I do not want to perform any of the traditional marriage ceremonies, including ring and reception ceremonies. Not only that, but I do give importance to commitment and respect for each other, rather than those ceremonial formalities, which does not guarantee these values.

I do not want to have a kid at any time.

And lastly, I prefer to live separately from my parents after marriage. The decision of the type of new home will be taken jointly as per the comfort of both of us.
