India

Message

At Deloitte, I lead sustainability assurance and advisory engagements across sectors. I anchored assurance for a large information technology company covering BRSR and GRI KPIs, double materiality assessments, and ISAE 3000 requirements.

I also develop disclosures aligned with the International Framework (IIRC) and scan global sustainability standards, including ESRS and IFRS S1 & S2, to help clients understand alignment and reporting considerations.

Earlier, I supported IFRS 9 Expected Credit Loss framework implementation for financial services clients, including portfolio risk analysis and PD, LGD, and EAD modelling. At Aavishkaar Capital, I supported a group-level $37 million fundraise and assessed potential investments for financial and social impact.
