LET'S TALK ABOUT TECH

Rajagopalan started his career as Lead Data and Solutions Architect at Chevron where he witnessed firsthand production and allocation inefficiencies causing a multitude of issues that field operators faced in their everyday lives. This experience was the genesis of Seven Lakes Technologies.

After securing $20M in Series A funding in 2015, Rajagopalan launched Seven Lakes’s SaaS platform. Within a year, Seven Lakes launched its flagship product, JOYN Field Data Capture. This was the first mobile app in the industry which helped oil field operators create highly validated production data while increasing field operation efficiency by up to 25%. First in the industry to migrate operators from on-premise to fully in the cloud, SLT heralded a new era of digital transformation in the Oil and Gas Industry.

In 2017, SLT added JOYN Field Data Capture and Integration. This product line enables capturing all non-production data in a central location, and integrates source systems like production, enterprise resource planning (ERP), enterprise asset management (EAM), environmental health and safety (EHS), and more. Under Rajagopalan’s leadership, SLT built an integration product that brings all legacy enterprise systems together, another first in the Oil and Gas industry.

Shiva’s teams created JOYN Dynamic Routing in 2018, which gives field foremen a way to dynamically route resources towards inactive wells based on location, risk, volume, resources and other key performance indicators. JOYN Dynamic Routing uses IoT to leverage disparate supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems in a single platform to help identify priorities and cut down how long it takes to address downtime issues.

Rajagopalan was the guiding force behind JOYN Oil & Gas Production, which launched in January 2021. It is the world’s only fully integrated, truly cloud native SaaS solution for oilfield production, able to track and ensure real-time allocated totals for all production accounting data designed to remove obstacles and improve oilfield operations.

ExxonMobil and 40 other energy companies have onboarded JOYN solutions into their systems, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to maximize production time by providing all the necessary data to resolve downtime issues. 7 out of top 20 Oil and Gas companies are powered by Seven Lakes Products.

Rajagopalan is regularly featured in publications like Forbes, Rigzone, and Oilman Magazine for his innovative solutions. He was named the 2015 EY Entrepreneur of the Year in Greater Los Angeles. Under his leadership, SLT was recognized on the Inc. 5000 List of American’s Fastest Growing Companies (2015), the Gartner Hype Cycle for Oil and Gas Technologies (2017), and the CIO Magazine 100 (2017).

Rajagopalan is excited to continue working at the cutting edge of Oil and Gas production.
