Prasanna Kumar, who assumed office on February 12, 2026. Designed for SMEs and individual businesses, the tool measures greenhouse gas statements to support SEBI-mandated Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting, enable assurance, advise on carbon taxes and align firms with India’s net-zero-by-2070 goal.

Scoring Rationale
Official national rollout by ICAI supports practical adoption and assurance services, but novelty is incremental and limited to accounting sector.
