Mayankjot Singh, Energy Trading Analyst at GBE Energy, joins Energy Untold for the first in-house conversation with a member of the GBE team.

Mayank shares his journey from growing up in India to moving to Canada for university, and the cultural adjustments that came with building a new life in Calgary. We explore how trading first caught his attention, his (winning) experiences at the BP Canada Trading Competition and the Rotman International Trading Competition, and the traits he believes separate successful competitors and future traders.

The conversation dives into the unique dynamics of power markets—where economics meets physics, and volatility can shift in minutes—as well as Mayank’s reflections on his internship at GBE Futures. He talks about mentorship, learning from GBE co-founder Jerry Zeng, and the routines, projects, and data work that shaped his first four months on a professional trade floor.

Mayank also offers candid advice to students and young professionals who want to break into trading, emphasizing persistence, curiosity, and the long game of developing a career in markets.
