About Sayali Ponkshe

I am a sustainability expert with a master\'s degree in computer application from Brihan Maharashtra College Of Commerce. I have a passion for environmental and social responsibility, and a vision to make the world a more sustainable and co-existing place. Currently, I work as an assistant manager at KPMG, where I help large organizations with their sustainability roadmap and reports based on global standards and frameworks. I have experience in conducting ESG maturity, materiality, and risk assessments, defining and implementing sustainability strategies, preparing integrated and non-financial disclosures, and engaging with stakeholders. I have successfully delivered sustainability projects for clients across various sectors, such as EPC, manufacturing, and IT. Previously, I was a sustainability consultant at EY, where I performed similar roles and responsibilities, and contributed to the growth and reputation of the practice. Before joining the consulting industry, I co-founded and led a start-up that developed innovative and economical solutions for waste management, which was funded and supported by several prestigious organizations and programs. I also founded and led a volunteer-based NGO that undertook multiple sustainability initiatives and campaigns in the community. Additionally, I have published and presented my research on sustainability topics at international forums and media outlets. I am always eager to learn and explore new areas and challenges in the field of sustainability. I am also an avid trekker and runner, a vegan and zero-waste advocate, a travel enthusiast, and a proud parent to a dog.
