What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead ESG, climate-risk, decarbonization, and sustainability transformation work where I can help organizations build credible, audit-ready disclosures, science-based transition plans, and long-term enterprise value.

I've delivered ESG transformation programs for 50+ clients across EY and KPMG, translating regulatory obligations into audit-ready disclosures, stronger ESG ratings, and Board-level governance.

At EY, I lead decarbonization and Net-Zero strategy for one of India’s largest oil and gas companies, designing science-based emissions pathways, aligning targets to SBTi criteria, and embedding transition risk into capital planning. I also lead BRSR Core and CSRD/ESRS assessments, ESG data infrastructure design, GHG assurance, and climate-resilience strategy for MNCs and conglomerates.

My work spans GRI, BRSR, SASB, ESRS, TCFD, S&P Global CSA, CDP, EcoVadis, ISAE 3410, and Scope 1/2/3 accounting across energy, finance, manufacturing, mining, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, automotive, real estate, and technology.
