About

ESG researcher and sustainability analyst with hands-on experience across corporate ESG disclosure mapping, social safeguard compliance, and urban environmental assessments. I have analysed ESG data for 437+ companies across four states (AIF), supported Asia's largest Rehabilitation & Resettlement programme under TISS-CESCR social safeguard frameworks (NCL Singrauli), and conducted urban equity fieldwork with WRI India and BMC Mumbai. My work sits at the intersection of the E, S, and G pillars — corporate sustainability disclosures, community impact, and governance frameworks. I am familiar with BRSR, GRI, SEBI's phased ESG mandate, and CSR compliance under the Companies Act. Currently completing MA Development Studies at TISS (2026), targeting entry-level roles in ESG consulting, sustainability advisory, and impact research.
