Sustainability is moving beyond corporate courtesy, becoming a measure of resilience, profitability, and credibility in the global market. India’s regulatory shift has turned sustainability into a business imperative rather than a voluntary commitment, and many organizations find themselves searching for a bridge between compliance and competitiveness.
With the country’s Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) Core bringing ESG disclosures into the regulatory mainstream, businesses are under growing pressure to quantify, validate, and improve their sustainability performance. Into this complexity enters Arantree Consulting.
Founded on the belief that a well-designed decarbonization roadmap can be as much a financial instrument as a technical document, Arantree Consulting sits at the intersection of research and real-world problem-solving. “We feel that sustainability is the new language of competitiveness, and it's very important that we have a science-driven, evidence-driven approach to it”, says Anuradda Ganesh, CEO & Managing Director, Arantree Consulting. The consultancy designs affordable, India-centric ESG frameworks tailored to MSME realities, addressing three core gaps: perception, access, and capability.
Turning Sustainability into Strategy
Arantree Consulting begins by changing how MSMEs perceive sustainability by demonstrating measurable business value. It helps reduce operating costs, minimize waste, and optimize processes to improve yield and quality.
The consultancy builds its assessments using industry-specific data, actively seeking India-centric databases and parameters wherever available. This approach reveals inefficiencies often missed by generic audits, generating cost advantages alongside emission reductions.
In addition, Arantree Consulting develops decarbonization roadmaps designed to be bankable, not just technically sound, but structured to meet the due diligence requirements of financial institutions. Each roadmap includes capital cost projections, payback analyses, and implementation timelines that help MSMEs access green financing options. By working directly with banks and development finance institutions, the consultancy helps create a practical pathway: verified ESG data improves creditworthiness, which in turn enables access to sustainability-linked lending. This approach addresses a real challenge, many MSMEs struggle to secure affordable green finance simply because they lack the documentation and validation that lenders require.
Furthermore, its customized training programs are designed to empower internal teams with the analytical, technical, and managerial skills necessary to sustain ESG practices independently. From understanding carbon accounting and life-cycle analysis to interpreting policy frameworks and integrating data-driven decision tools, these programs turn sustainability into an in-house capability and become part of the client’s operational DNA.

Complementing this is Arantree Consulting's technology validation platform, which connects startups, laboratories, and enterprises to test and scale indigenous innovations. Through this ecosystem, the consultancy converts ESG planning into measurable progress backed by evidence, economics, and engineering.
Intending to enable one gigaton of greenhouse gas reductions by 2030, it is expanding its impact across hard-to-abate sectors such as steel, cement, textiles, and paper, while strengthening supply-chain decarbonization between global OEMs and their Indian suppliers. Its consulting frameworks integrate green financing access, risk assessment tools, and digital analytics, including AI and ML, applied responsibly to enhance precision and decision-making.
Each engagement contributes to a larger national mission, making sustainability inclusive and scalable. In doing so, Arantree Consulting is helping Indian enterprises transform ESG compliance into a strategic language of resilience and growth.
