Why Sustainability, Why Now?
India’s 2030 climate targets and 2070 net-zero greenhouse gas goal have turned climate action into a core business priority. Much of India’s emissions come from power, manufacturing, transport, construction, and supply chains, so companies now need to measure carbon, cut it credibly, and report it transparently.
With BRSR/ESG expectations rising, organisations need job-ready
talent that can
do carbon accounting, climate-risk analysis, &
practical
decarbonisation planning. This programme builds those capabilities
through hands-on
tools, real industry cases, & outcome-focused projects aligned to
what companies are
hiring for.
