Pratik Madrecha | Venture Capital Careers

I am a climate strategy and ESG professional helping multinational companies translate ambitious sustainability goals into practical business transformation. At PwC, I have led cross-functional teams across decarbonisation, biodiversity and ESG reporting. Previously at EY, I established an ESG Centre of Excellence spanning hundreds of stakeholders across 10+ client departments, rebuilt climate data infrastructure across the corporate hierarchy, and delivered major ESG disclosures and reporting improvements. My work has earned recognition including EY Client Extraordinaire, EY I Am Exceptional, PwC Change Catalyst, and EY Budding Star. I also bring experience building AI-enabled tools and a strong interest in sustainable finance, infrastructure and responsible growth.

I built the Scope 3 abatement roadmap for a Fortune 500 client’s eight-module decarbonisation programme, using hotspot analysis to target emissions equivalent to planting 12.5 million trees annually. I modelled a multi-state clean energy strategy for India’s largest auto-component manufacturer, delivering a 9.8% Scope 2 reduction and $265 million in long-term savings. I also directed a nine-member cross-functional team across decarbonisation, biodiversity and ESG reporting, translating technical options into board-level Net Zero and Nature Positive commitments.
