Your biggest customer wants your carbon numbers. You have three weeks, no ESG team, and a consultant quote worth more than the contract. Start here instead.
Enter what you already pay for and the model returns your Scope 1, 2 and an estimated 3, plus where you sit against your sector. No signup, no card, nothing emailed to you.
a year for the full platform, not ₹5 lakh
BRSR Core attributes covered end to end
from first bill to a defensible baseline
India didn't ask small businesses to report. It asked large companies to report — and their answer is to ask you.
No regulator writes to an unlisted SME. What arrives instead is a spreadsheet from a customer, a clause in a tender, a new section in a credit renewal, or an EU importer explaining that without your figures they have to assume the worst.
None of it carries a penalty. All of it carries a price.
Each of these arrives without warning and each has a different deadline attached.
Supply a top-250 listed company at 2% or more of their procurement spend and they may include your ESG data in their value chain disclosure. SEBI makes this voluntary for now, but buyers preparing for it are already asking.
Assessment or assurance of value chain data is voluntary from FY 2026-27.
If you're answering a bigger buyer's questionnaire, you often need upstream data too — fuel, electricity, waste — from vendors who've never filled in an ESG form before.
Send a no-login link — they fill in only what you ask, with evidence attached.
Lenders are folding emissions and energy questions into working-capital renewals and growth lending. A blank answer isn't neutral — it gets scored as risk.
Banks report financed emissions themselves. Your number becomes their number.
Global buyers increasingly gate onboarding on a footprint figure and a source for it. Suppliers who can answer inside a week keep the conversation moving; the rest ask for an extension.
A credible baseline is becoming a commercial qualification, not a sustainability project.
And estimates are conservative by design. The figure they invent is almost always worse than the one you'd have measured.
BRSR Core covers nine attributes. For the largest listed entities those attributes can extend into the value chain, voluntarily: partners individually at 2% or more of purchases or sales, or enough partners to cover 75%, with the coverage stated.
SEBI allows reasonable estimates where supplier data doesn't exist. But estimates are conservative by design, so the number they invent for you is almost always worse than the one you'd have measured.
What they want to know is whether you're better or worse than the supplier they could switch to. So every figure ships with its sector band — and landing below the median is a line for your next tender, not a compliance chore.
MT CO₂e per ₹ crore of turnover. Change sector in the quick check to move your marker.
A baseline built this year is the one you refine next year, instead of rebuilding under deadline.
Suppliers who reply to a questionnaire inside a week keep the contract conversation moving.
Every figure traced to a source document, so an assessor's question takes minutes.
Free to start. No card, no sales call, no ESG team required.
SEBI's rules apply to listed companies. But a listed company can't report its value chain without data from the businesses inside it — which is where most Indian SMEs suddenly find themselves.
Value chain disclosure includes partners individually at 2% or more of purchases or sales, and a company may stop once its disclosed partners cover 75%. It is voluntary for now. If that's you, your data may be in their filing.
SEBI permits reasonable estimates where supplier data is unavailable, provided the method is disclosed. Estimates are conservative by design, so the invented number is usually worse than yours.
Once value chain data is assessed or assured, an assessor works backwards from the number to the evidence. A spreadsheet with no sources doesn't survive that.
Not directly. No SEBI penalty lands on an unlisted SME for failing to report. What lands on you is commercial: a customer who needs your figures for their filing, an EU importer paying more without your verified data, or a lender scoring an unanswered ESG section. The obligation is contractual rather than regulatory, which in practice makes it harder to ignore, not easier.
Far less accurate than most people fear, and far better documented than most expect. Scope 1 and 2 come straight off your fuel and electricity bills and are close to exact. Scope 3 starts as a sector estimate and improves as you add purchase data. What matters more than precision is that every figure has a source you can point to.
For now, often yes. It stops being enough when their disclosure gets assessed, because the assessor works backwards from the number to the evidence. A spreadsheet with no source references and no method note doesn't survive that. The fix is small while you're building the number and expensive afterwards.
Then CBAM is a real, separate concern alongside BRSR — since January 2026 your importer must account for embedded emissions in covered goods (cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity, hydrogen), and without verified figures from you they fall back on EU default values, set deliberately high. We don't build CBAM product-level figures today — our platform covers BRSR Core and value chain reporting. Get in touch if CBAM is a priority for you; it's on our roadmap for a future phase.
For a first Scope 1 and 2 baseline, almost certainly not. Most SMEs finish it in an afternoon with the right template. Bring someone in when you have multiple plants, a genuinely complex Scope 3 story, or an assessor already asking questions. We offer that as a fixed-price option rather than pretending software solves everything.
No site visit, no audit, no sustainability vocabulary. If you can find last year's electricity bills, you can finish this.
Electricity units, diesel and LPG purchases, turnover. Twelve months of bills is enough to start.
Indian grid factors by region and vintage, under GHG Protocol boundaries — and recorded, so the number can be rebuilt next year.
Recovered waste above waste generated, an intensity that moved without its denominator, a missing month — flagged before anyone else sees it.
A buyer-ready one-pager, the value chain answer sheet, and an evidence ledger tying every figure to a source document.
The evidence ledger is the difference between a figure and a defensible figure. Each row records the value, where it came from, which factor was applied and how confident we are in it — so when an assessor asks, the answer is one click, not one week.
| Buyer one-pager | PDF. Footprint, intensity, sector position, method note. |
| Value chain sheet | Nine BRSR Core attributes in your customer's expected format. |
| Evidence ledger | Every figure with source, factor, vintage and confidence. |
| ISO 14064-1 aligned | Sourced emission factors, IPCC AR6 100-year GWP disclosed on the report, a designated base year, a verifier-reviewable change log, and a per-scope uncertainty assessment. |
Per unit, per year, in rupees. If you outgrow this we'll tell you rather than upsell you.

The methodology behind this platform came out of a GIZ-funded national household carbon footprint study at the Institute for Social and Economic Change — instrument designed from scratch, field teams run, every entry validated by hand, and the method published after peer review.
households surveyed across 13 locations
raw data points validated by hand
peer-reviewed publications
The study measured consumption-based emissions at household boundary using the same Scope 1, 2 and 3 logic a company inventory uses — fuel burned at home, purchased electricity, and everything consumed. The gradient across income groups turned out far steeper than policy assumed at the time.
Covered in Deccan Herald, published in Environment, Development and Sustainability.
Indexed to the lowest group. Shape of the published finding — exact values are in the paper.
Same Scope 1, 2 and 3-equivalent structure. Free, and unrelated to anything we sell.
Vehicle factors: petrol 2.296, diesel 2.653 kg CO₂/L. Food factors follow the study's reference set — replace with the published values before launch.
Tooling for large companies is excellent. Tooling for everyone else barely exists. That gap is the whole reason this product is here.
Founder · Bengaluru
Five years on the unglamorous half of sustainability reporting: designing collection instruments, running field teams, and validating figures until they hold up. He built the household emissions model behind a national study covering 1,950 households across nine agro-ecological zones, and validated more than 66,000 entries before the methodology reached peer review.
Most Indian SMEs being asked for emissions data don't need a platform. They need one correct number, a source for it, and someone who won't quote them six lakh for the privilege.
BRSR Core's nine attributes apply the same way everywhere — what changes is which issues actually drive the disclosure, and where the real data gaps show up. Grounded in NSE & SES's Integrated BRSR Guides, mapped against GRI/SASB/CDP/TCFD.
Scope 3 use-phase emissions are usually the largest single category, plus multi-tier supply-chain safety and end-of-life circularity. Typical gap: intensity computed against inconsistent denominators across plants.
A bank's own office footprint is a rounding error next to financed emissions — the portfolio-level footprint of what it lends against. Typical gap: financed emissions depend on borrower data the bank doesn't directly control.
Direct Scope 1/2 GHG, water withdrawal in process-heavy operations, and occupational safety carry the most weight — the closest profile to a standard BRSR Core build-out.
Illustrative example, real methodology — an auto-component manufacturer (₹2,500 Cr revenue, 3 plants) preparing for BRSR Core assurance.
| Total Scope 1 emissions | 1,183.90 MT CO2e |
| Total Scope 2 emissions | 48,280.00 MT CO2e |
| GHG intensity | 1.03 MT CO2e per vehicle produced |
| Water consumption | 144,000 KL |
| Renewable energy share | 2.0% |
| Waste recovered | 64.0% |
Gaps found before the fix: Scope 3 use-phase emissions had never been calculated, energy/water intensity used three different denominators across internal reports, and Scope 2 factors were undocumented by source — last year's number couldn't be re-derived.

What we collect, why, who we share it with, and how to exercise your rights under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
This policy covers anyone who visits emissionmetrics.in, holds an account as an owner or member of a client company on the EmissionMetrics platform ("Service"), or receives and responds to a value-chain partner data-request link sent by one of our client companies.
EmissionMetrics is operated by Ranjeet Kishan, based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. EmissionMetrics currently operates as a sole proprietorship; conversion to a One Person Company (OPC) is in progress, and this section will be updated with the registered entity name and CIN once incorporation is complete. Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDP Act"), EmissionMetrics acts as the Data Fiduciary for the personal data described below.
We don't collect special-category or sensitive personal data (health, biometric, financial-account numbers, etc.) as part of the Service, and ask that you avoid including this in evidence uploads or KPI notes unless it's strictly necessary for your own compliance record-keeping.
We don't use any of this data to build advertising profiles, and we don't sell personal data to anyone.
Creating an account, and a company owner sending a partner a data-request link, are both treated as affirmative consent to the processing described in this policy for that purpose. A value-chain partner who opens a data-request link and voluntarily submits KPI values or evidence is treated as providing that data for the specified purpose stated on that page — consistent with the DPDP Act's provision for personal data voluntarily provided by an individual for a specified purpose. You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting us (Section 10) — for account holders this means closing your account; for partners it means asking your requesting company, or us directly, to delete your submitted response.
We use a small number of service providers to run the Service, and we don't sell, rent, or trade personal data to anyone else:
These providers process data only as needed to run the Service. If you're evaluating EmissionMetrics for your own compliance purposes and need more detail on our processors, contact us.
Vercel and Resend are US-headquartered services, so parts of the pipeline — page delivery, transactional email sending — may process data on servers located outside India. Our database is hosted via Supabase, in a region we configure. We take reasonable steps to keep your data secure regardless of where it's processed, consistent with the DPDP Act's requirements for transfers outside India.
On a verified deletion request, we delete or anonymize personal data within a reasonable period, including from routine backups on their normal rotation.
No system is perfectly secure. If we become aware of a breach affecting your personal data, we'll notify affected users and the Data Protection Board of India as required by law.
