What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on ESG research and reporting where I can lead framework-aligned disclosures, automate data workflows, and drive investor-grade sustainability insights.

I am an ESG Sustainability Analyst with 3 years' experience in ESG research, analytics, and data-driven reporting focused on investor-grade disclosures. I hold an M.Tech in Environmental Science and Technology and advanced training in ESG and climate-related disclosures.

At SG Analytics I developed and executed Standard Operating Procedures for ESG metrics, mapped 50+ KPIs across GRI/TCFD/SASB, and automated ingestion workflows that cut manual data entry by 40%. I ensured compliance with frameworks including GRI, TCFD, SASB, CDP and SBTi and achieved >98% dataset accuracy through rigorous quality-control audits.

I have conducted climate risk assessments, environmental and social impact analyses, and sustainable investment strategy evaluations across sectors, including REITs and green building certification data. I led ESG training and change management initiatives and mentored junior associates during project delivery.

I am skilled with ESG platforms (CDP, Cognaize AI, Bloomberg ESG Terminal), Excel and dashboard reporting, and I pursue Tableau for visualization. I bring a practical, compliance-first approach to integrating ESG into investment planning and corporate operations.
