CSR & Sustainability Consultant | ESG Reporting | BRSR Compliance | GHG Monitoring | UN SDGs | 8+ Years | Ex-Apparel Group Dubai | NGO & Corporate Programs

I help companies design, execute, and report on their CSR and sustainability commitments — turning compliance obligations into meaningful impact.

With 8+ years across corporate and NGO sectors, I bring a rare dual perspective: I've worked inside a multinational retail conglomerate (Apparel Group, Dubai — 80+ brands) managing ESG strategy, and inside India's leading CSR advisory firm (CSRBOX/BharatCares, Ahmedabad) designing and delivering ground-level programs.

What I can do for you:

✦ ESG & BRSR Reporting — Prepare SEBI-compliant BRSR filings, monitor Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions, and build sustainability dashboards
✦ CSR Program Design — End-to-end program development aligned with UN SDGs across education, health, skilling, and environment
✦ Social Audits — Assess supplier compliance with ethical labor and sourcing standards
✦ NGO & Corporate Partnerships — Structure MoUs, funding proposals, and multi-stakeholder collaborations
✦ Impact Assessment & M&E — Build frameworks, design survey tools, collect data, and write impact reports
✦ Employee Volunteering — Design engagement calendars and volunteer campaigns for large organizations
✦ Decarbonization Strategy — Support solar, circular economy, water-saving, and net-zero planning
✦ Proposal & Award Writing — Draft CSR proposals with budgets and write award applications

Notable work:
— Managed CSR across 80+ brands at Apparel Group, UAE
— Won Retail Employee of the Year – Sustainability (2024)
— Delivered programs for Cadila Pharmaceuticals, Arvind Ltd., Whirlpool India, WaterAid India, The Habitats Trust
— Contributed to ESG report development including GHG emissions measurement and stakeholder engagement

I work remotely with Indian corporates, Gulf-based companies, international NGOs, and MNCs. If you have a CSR budget but no in-house team, or need ESG compliance support, I can step in quickly and deliver.
