About Indranil Matilal

I lead at the intersection of sustainability, ESG governance, climate risk, and regulatory disclosure.With 25+ years of experience across logistics, infrastructure, and construction materials, I have built enterprise-wide ESG and decarbonisation frameworks that are operationally grounded, audit-ready, and aligned with evolving regulatory standards including BRSR Core and GRI.My work spans Scope 1–2–3 emissions architecture, supply chain ESG oversight, disclosure governance controls, and assurance readiness / GHG). I focus on strengthening the integrity, defensibility, and financial materiality of sustainability reporting—ensuring that targets, disclosures, and commitments are supported by robust risk management and accountability structures.With formal legal training and the CFA Institute Certificate in Sustainable Investing, I bring a governance- and investor-oriented lens to ESG—bridging operational execution with board-level oversight, climate-related financial risk integration, and long-term value protection.
