About Vikas Yeshwant
I am a CSR, ESG, and Sustainability Leader with 23 years of experience, passionate about creating shared value for business and society. Over the years, I have stewarded CSR portfolios worth ₹100 Cr+, led the establishment of a corporate foundation, and implemented pan-India programs impacting 2 lakh+ lives annually across education, livelihoods, health, and environment.My expertise lies in CSR strategy, governance, and ESG integration—from policy design and compliance with the Companies Act (2% mandate) to impact measurement and sustainability reporting aligned with SEBI and global standards. I take pride in building cross-sector partnerships with NGOs, multilaterals, and governments that scale programs and ensure long-term sustainability.As the author of Rethinking CSR and NGO Partnerships, I am committed to advancing thought leadership in this space and inspiring fresh approaches to corporate responsibility. My vision is to lead CSR and sustainability at a strategic level—as a Head – CSR, VP – Sustainability, or CEO of a Corporate Foundation—to drive business-aligned social transformation and measurable impact.
