What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a challenging role that leverages my expertise in obtaining regulatory approvals, preparing EIA-related documents, and implementing forest clearance processes—while helping deliver environmentally compliant projects and supporting sustainable growth.

I’m a results-driven Environmental Clearance and Forest Clearance Expert with 7 years of experience in environmental management. I specialize in obtaining regulatory approvals by navigating complex environmental regulations, conducting Environmental Impact Assessments, and implementing forest clearance procedures.

In my roles as Senior Environment Officer and Senior Manager (Environment) cum Functional Area Expert (Category B), I’ve led EIA/EMP/PFR report preparation, ToR application and ToR/EC presentation work, and end-to-end EC/CTE/CTO compliance support. I’m hands-on with key systems and portals like PARIVESH, SINGLE WINDOW, NOCAP, and CGWA processes, and I also contribute to wildlife conservation & management planning, baseline data generation, monitoring, and audit readiness.
