Amid green push, professionals rush to arm themselves with ESG skills

As companies adopt stricter environmental, social and governance (ESG) regulations amid India’s push to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070, Indian professionals are making a beeline for edtech platforms to upskill themselves in green technology and sustainability.
Edtech firms like Coursera, Emeritus, UpGrad and Terra.do are seeing high enrolment rates for courses related to ESG reporting, climate technology, carbon accounting, lifecycle analyses, etc. There is also an increasing trend of engineers wanting to learn the tech stacks used in the climate tech industry, or product managers learning how to reduce emissions of their digital products.
