About Sourav Das

I help asset managers and climate funds deploy capital more effectively through better ESG data infrastructure and sustainable investment frameworks.I\'m one of the few professionals who\'s worked on both sides of the ESG ecosystem: I built the ESG Corporate Ratings that asset managers use for screening (Sustainalytics/MSCl), then designed sustainable investment products and climate finance structures (Deloitte).This dual perspective: data provider + investment advisor, gives me unique insight into why sustainable investing is harder than it should be, and how to fix it.Experience highlights:→ Built ESG Corporate Ratings covering 500+ companies at Sustainalytics (Morningstar/MSCI), managing product delivery across data, research, and stakeholder teams→ Designed green investment frameworks and KPI systems for Alternative Investment Funds, translating climate strategy into actionable portfolio management tools→ Structured blended finance products for climate adaptation with multilateral development bank partners, unlocking concessional capital for infrastructure projects→ Led TCFD implementation and climate risk assessments for Fortune 500 companies across automobile, manufacturing, and BFSI sectors→ Developed Scope 3 GHG methodologies for complex global supply chains (semiconductors, tires, automobiles)Now I\'m focused on:→ Climate risk assessment and investment roles and deploying the capital that accelerate climate solutions→ Making ESG integration seamless for asset managers through better product design and data infrastructure→ Bridging the gap between climate science, financial risk, and investment decision-makingIf you\'re working on sustainable investing products, climate finance, or ESG data infrastructure, let\'s connect.
