Resurgent India’s ESG Services Arm Gets SEBI Nod To Operate As An ESG Rating Provider
Resurgent ESG Services Pvt. Ltd. (RESPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Resurgent India Ltd., has been approved by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) as a Category II Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Rating Provider. To address the rising demand for ESG, Resurgent India founded RESPL to provide businesses with customised ESG ratings and solutions that promote both operational excellence and ethical economic development.
ESG practices are crucial for businesses and investors. Companies prioritising ESG can reduce risks, innovate, and attract sustainable investments. ESG ratings are indicators of long-term sustainability and ethical business practices. Resurgent ESG Services, with SEBI’s approval, is a leader in the growing ESG field. The company helps investors and businesses navigate sustainability and contribute to India’s economic growth. Resurgent India’s ESG Advisory Services help companies integrate ESG into their operations, reducing risks and creating long-term value.
The subsidiary provides an extensive range of services, including establishing strong ESG governance frameworks, due diligence, sustainable finance strategy guidance, specialised Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) plans, and specialised training. With the help of these services, companies may integrate ESG into their core business processes and follow international sustainability trends.
RESPL projects onboarding a cumulative total of 20 clients within 9 months of its operations in the fiscal year 2024-2025. This number is expected to grow to 48 in the fiscal year 2025-2026 and further to 72 by 2026-2027. Additionally, business volumes from 2025-2026 onwards are projected to increase due to the inclusion of ESG rating surveillance services for existing clients.
As per the business plan submitted to SEBI, RESPL plans to hire five more staff members in the fiscal year 2024-2025, increasing the total number of employees to seven from the current two. BRSR consultancy services are provided through Resurgent India Limited, while ESG ratings are offered through RESPL.
Jyoti Prakash Gadia, Managing Director of Resurgent India Ltd., expressed his optimism, stating, “ESG is no longer just about compliance; it’s a pathway to long-term economic prosperity. Stronger ESG ratings put a company in a better position to draw capital, run more efficiently, and support the economy’s sustainability as a whole. In the end, their proactive approach to controlling ESG risks would promote stability and growth in the Indian financial markets.”
