PAST PROJECTS

  • Prepared a travel emissions study to compare emissions from different modes of inter-city transport in India

    The study estimates the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per passenger from different modes of transport - (trains, flights and cars) - in India, on widely travelled routes like Delhi-Mumbai and Bengaluru-Chennai. Our findings enable travellers to make more environmentally conscious transport choices and governments to shape low-carbon transport policies.

  • Helped an international client understand the regulatory environment in India’s hydropower sector

    Executed a research project on the economic and environmental challenges of hydropower development in India’s Himalayan states. Cultivated relationships with national and state government officials, environmentalists and civil society, and incorporated their insights into a research paper which was disseminated to key decision-makers.

  • Developed an investment strategy for a development financial institution in South Asia’s energy and agri-business sectors

    Conducted a synthesis of research literature in the energy and agri-business sectors in South Asia, to aid the investment and monitoring and evaluation department of a development finance institution. Our scan of the existing research on renewable energy mini-grids and value chain investments in the agriculture sector, helped our client develop an investment strategy for the region.
