About Kamalnath Kumar

I’m an Environmental Engineer turned sustainability strategist with experience spanning engineering, ESG SaaS development, and enterprise climate action. From designing sustainability tools in Excel to driving Green Initiatives at one of the world’s largest IT services firms, my career has been about scaling impact through data, systems, and strategy.Over the years, I’ve worked across startups, consulting, and corporate roles to transform how organizations measure, report, and act on their environmental goals. I specialize in GHG emissions accounting (Scope 1, 2 and 3), ESG framework alignment (GRI, TCFD, SASB, BRSR, CDP), and building technology tools that make sustainability smarter and scalable.Today, at Infosys, I drive key climate initiatives: enterprise-wide emissions management, ESG disclosures, tool rollouts, and strategic decarbonization programs. Previously, at Two Oceans Strategy, I led the development of an ESG SaaS platform used by global clients — transforming reporting from static spreadsheets to dynamic systems that enable real-time insights. What sets me apart is my ability to speak the language of engineering, policy, and platforms: bridging technical depth with business relevance. I build systems that work in the real world, not just on paper.I’m not here to follow the sustainability playbook, I’m here to write the next chapter. My goal is to be a leading force in shaping how global businesses embed climate responsibility into their DNA through data, design, and bold thinking.
