Conducted ESG survey data validation against supporting evidence to ensure audit readiness. Supported carbon accounting data preparation for integration into the Watershed carbon accounting platform, including quality checks on emission outputs and variance resolution.

Delivered the ESG control cycle, including testing and attestation review, to ensure audit issue resolution per Group methodology. Developed CSRD-aligned risk frameworks and EU-standard risk registers, partnering with auditors and cross-functional teams on ESG tool development and strategic risk initiatives.

Implemented ESG frameworks across USA and Europe and supported 100+ supplier audits focused on environmental compliance. Helped deploy digital ESG monitoring for supplier performance and developed CSRD-, TCFD-, GRI-, SASB-, and ISSB-aligned disclosures, including GHG baselining and lifecycle assessments.

Developed wildfire behaviour models and used RMS tools to estimate fire spread and address gaps in catastrophe modelling. Led creation of climate-related disclosure guides covering CSRD (Social), IFRS S1/S2, UK Companies Act, and SEC climate proposals.

Developed sustainable policies and conducted biodiversity and restoration research in Ratapani Wildlife Sanctuary, assessing flora/fauna diversity and recommending mitigation strategies for forest-based resilience. Analyzed forest-dependent communities and implemented inclusive community engagement plans, including carbon & CSR activities such as reforestation and carbon offset strategies using Go

Performed watershed delineation of the Ganga basin and data analysis for a replenishment study of riverbed material across the Ganga River and tributaries. Conducted carbon footprint analysis related to river bed mining alongside physical parameters of riverbed management and mining activities.

Worked on HI-AWARE for land cover and land use change detection in the upper Ganga region. Conducted remote sensing and GIS work in a NASA-funded project on afforestation impacts on sustainable livelihoods in rural communities in India.

Ph.D. research assessed the carbon storage potential of bamboo forests as a nature-based climate solution, developing models to predict above-ground biomass and carbon accumulation for Indian bamboo species. The work explored bamboo’s potential as a renewable, carbon-neutral resource supporting sustainable development and low-emission material alternatives.

M.Sc. dissertation researched forest fire fuel characterization in the Shivalik Himalayas using hyperspectral remote sensing. The project applied remote sensing techniques to support understanding of forest fire-related fuel properties.
