Abhirup Das

Head of ESG & Sustainability Advisory

Pune, Maharashtra, India · Oren

Abhirup is a first-principles strategist who heads ESG & Sustainability Advisory at Oren. With over a decade of experience across energy transition, digital transformation, and corporate sustainability, he builds systems that turn ESG requirements into operational efficiency, risk mitigation, and measurable value creation.

At Oren, Abhirup leads climate risk and financial strategy frameworks that quantify Capex/Opex exposure, transition liabilities, and carbon pricing risks. He architects AI-driven, assurance-ready ESG automation — incorporating anomaly detection, automated validation controls, and narrative summarisation — to strengthen audit trails, internal governance, and regulatory compliance. His Scope 3 and value chain decarbonisation programmes use proprietary HSN-based supply chain mapping and structured vendor engagement to drive emissions reductions across multi-tier ecosystems.

He oversees large-scale industrial energy transition initiatives, from renewable deployment to solar park commissioning, and drives investor-grade ESG due diligence, double materiality assessments, and enterprise decarbonisation roadmaps for heavy industries and multinationals across India, Malaysia, and the UAE.

Before Oren, Abhirup spent three years at IBM as a Consultant in Digital Transformation & AI, leading global digital twin and IoT programmes and architecting secure, scalable AI-driven decision systems. Earlier, as Project Lead at GSPC Group, he played a pivotal role in commissioning Gujarat’s first large-scale solar park and managed technical onboarding for 300+ vendors across infrastructure execution.
