What I'm looking for

I’m looking to work on sustainability programs where I can run compliance and readiness across stakeholders, standardize reporting, and improve operations through process development—ideally in energy, mobility, or road-safety initiatives.

I’m a Sustainability and HSE Specialist at Hitachi Energy Pvt Ltd in Chennai, coordinating multi-country program readiness and compliance through structured documentation, streamlined processes, and progress-tracking systems across diverse regional teams.

Before that, I consulted on sustainable mobility and road safety—leading pilot-related work with city departments, organising Chennai stakeholder consultations with Tamil Nadu government departments, and supporting recommendations for state and national road-safety policy.

Earlier at Utopus Insights, I built pipeline assessment and forecasting methods, set KPI parameters, automated internal deal approvals on Salesforce, and supported MIS reporting, revenue planning, and GTM strategy development for renewable energy market needs.
