Saaksh
About Saaksh

Built for the consultants who actually file BRSR.

Saaksh is a compliance tool for independent ESG consultants in India. It starts with BRSR: the reporting SEBI now requires of the country's largest listed companies, and the work that lands on a consultant's desk as a blank 108-field format and a pile of scattered filings.

Vision & mission

Put big-firm tooling in every consultant's hands.

Mission

Put the tooling that only big consultancies can afford into the hands of every independent ESG consultant in India, so a solo practice can prepare a BRSR report that is as fast, as complete, and as defensible as a large firm's.

Vision

One compliance platform for Indian sustainability reporting that starts with BRSR and grows into CBAM, CCTS and the wider ESG stack, where a consultant collects a client's data once and reports it to every framework, and every figure traces back to its source.

Misty green tea-garden hills at dawn meeting a modern glass building, sustainability meeting clarity.

One dataset. Every framework. Every figure traced to its source.

Where this is going

BRSR is where it starts, not where it ends.

  1. Now

    BRSR, gap-analysed and cited

    The free readiness tool turns a blank 108-field format into a gap-analysed, cited action plan in seconds. Collect (Pro) chases the data from each team, auto-computes emissions, and drafts the response.

  2. Next

    CBAM & CCTS readiness, deeper

    The same evidence-first treatment for the EU carbon border tax and India's carbon market, so you prepare a client for what's coming, not only what's already filed.

  3. The horizon

    One platform for the whole ESG stack

    Collect a client's data once and report it to every framework, with every figure traced back to its source. BRSR is where it starts, not where it ends.

The problem

The time-sink isn't analysis. It's collecting the data.

Talk to anyone who prepares BRSR reports and the same complaint comes up: the single biggest time-sink isn't analysis, it's collecting the data. Emissions figures live with the plant manager, headcount with HR, board policies with the company secretary, and none of them answer emails quickly.

On top of that, a first-time filer stares at 108 disclosures with no quick read on which ones their client already covers in existing filings, which need fresh data, and where the numbers even come from. The existing ESG software is enterprise-priced and enterprise-shaped, no help to a consultant serving a handful of clients.

The approach

Free prepares the report. Pro does the job.

What we hold to

Four things we won't trade away.

Evidence, not vibes

The name Saaksh comes from the Sanskrit sākṣya, meaning evidence. Every number the tool surfaces is either something your client can point to in a filing, or something it computes from a cited factor. Nothing is invented.

Cited to the source

Guidance is tied to the SEBI BRSR format and the ICAI Background Material, and every emission factor names its publication, table and vintage. You can check our work, and so can your client's assurer.

Private by design

The free readiness tool runs entirely in your browser. Your client's answers and any documents you upload never leave your device. That's a deliberate choice, not a limitation.

Built for the long tail

Enterprise ESG software is priced for large listed companies. The independent consultant preparing BRSR for a handful of clients has been left out. Saaksh is built for them.

Who built it

Built with the people who file.

Saaksh is built by a group of sustainability and compliance experts, and shaped directly by feedback from practising ESG consultants, who validated that data collection, not analysis, is where the real pain sits, and who continue to steer what gets built next.

That feedback is the roadmap. The best way to shape what gets built next is to join the community and tell us what would make your work easier.
