ESG professional at PwC supporting US client assurance and CSRD assessments, with hands-on work calculating GHG emissions.

India
Message

At PwC Acceleration Center, I support ESG audit and assurance engagements for US-based clients, reviewing sustainability disclosures and identifying reporting or data-quality issues. I also complete CSRD gap assessments against ESRS requirements.

I review double materiality assessments for alignment with ESRS and calculate Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions using the GHG Protocol and DEFRA emissions factors. I also perform peer benchmarking across ESG indicators.

At KPMG Global Services, I delivered ESG due diligence, reporting and benchmarking research using Refinitiv, S&P Global, MSCI and CDP datasets. I assessed corporate readiness for CSRD and mapped impacts, risks and opportunities against CSRD and SASB requirements.

My earlier work spans investment-fund ESG reviews and stewardship reporting at M&G Global Services, ESG research at Arabesque S-Ray, and sustainability research at DigiVersal Consultants. I’ve also researched energy storage policy, EV charging infrastructure and solar inverter markets through early-career internships.
