Breaking into sustainability is confusing — career paths are unclear, salaries feel uncertain, and certifications like CFA ESG & GARP SCR raise more questions than answers.

In this genSustainable podcast, I sit down with Sanchari, a sustainability professional who has worked across consulting, rating agencies, Big 4, and industry, cleared CFA Sustainable Investing & GARP SCR, and studied at TISS Mumbai.

This is a no-sugarcoating, real conversation about:

How sustainability careers actually work in India

Whether certifications really help in jobs & salary negotiations

How to study for CFA ESG & GARP SCR while working

Big 4 vs consulting vs industry vs startups

TISS admissions, campus life, and placements

Job search strategies when the market is bad

If you’re a fresher, career switcher, or early ESG professional, this video will save you months of confusion.
