Global Remote

India’s first IRATA-certified trainer and operator, and the company that brought industrial rope access to India.

Global Remote was the first company to introduce industrial rope access in India, and set off a rope access revolution in the country. That heritage still sets the standard for its safety culture and technical training.

From it, Global Remote has grown into a multi-discipline contracting and engineering services company: conventional and advanced NDT, ammonia tank decommissioning and commissioning, tank calibration, subsea diving and marine services, training and HR services, with rope access as one specialist capability within that portfolio.

Global Remote operates as Inside Exploration Technologies in UAE and Qatar.

Someone reading for disqualifiers wants the qualification line before the biography, so it sits above it, in the same place on every row.
