Profile
Rohit Mukherjee is a Consultant at the Climate and Sustainability Initiative (CSI), where he supports strategic planning and implementation for industrial transition in Chhattisgarh. His work focuses on advancing green industrialisation, climate finance, and MSME decarbonisation, with an emphasis on translating policy objectives into actionable, on-ground interventions. At CSI, he supports pilot projects for MSMEs focused on energy efficiency and renewable energy integration, conducts baseline assessments, and works with financial institutions to mobilise capital for sustainable industrial practices.
Rohit’s professional journey spans economics, policy research, and political and policy analytics. He transitioned from a background in economics and cost accounting into roles that combined quantitative analysis with field-level implementation. Early in his career, he worked in cost auditing at Basak and Associates before moving into policy research and political intelligence roles at Varahe Analytics. There, he developed expertise in fiscal modelling, welfare scheme impact assessment, GSDP analysis, and large-scale operational management.
He has led research for major government initiatives such as the Mahtari Vandan Yojana and the Subhadra Yojana, and managed teams of over 90 field associates under tight timelines. His work required close coordination across stakeholders and the ability to translate complex economic data into operational insights. Rohit was also recognised as a “Young Achiever” at IIT Kharagpur. This combination of quantitative rigour and ground-level exposure enables him to bring financial discipline and evidence-based strategy to his current role at CSI, particularly in the context of MSME-focused industrial transitions.
Rohit holds an MS in Economics from IIT Kharagpur through its five-year integrated programme and has qualified both groups of the CMA Intermediate examination. Outside of work, he has a strong interest in languages and cultures, enjoys listening to music in multiple languages, and stays engaged with policy journals and magazines. He also enjoys crime thriller web series and singing in his leisure time, and has travelled extensively across several Indian states, including Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand.
