A glimpse into the energy, learning, and community of our previous cohort.
Real results from professionals who completed Zenora's ESG Cohort.
This cohort completely transformed how I approach sustainability at work. Within two months of graduating, I led my company's first BRSR submission. The real-world frameworks and Zenora's mentors made all the difference.
I came in as a finance professional with no sustainability background. By Week 4, I was running a materiality workshop for my own team. The cohort gives you both confidence and competence.
The guest speakers, live case studies, and the capstone project made this unlike any online program I've done. I landed a dedicated ESG role at a listed company three weeks after getting certified.
Zenora's cohort is intense — in the best way. You don't just learn theory, you're building real deliverables every week. My capstone project became our company's actual sustainability roadmap.
As a communications professional, I had no idea how deep ESG went. The sustainability storytelling module alone was worth the fee. I now head our company's ESG communication team.
The peer network alone is gold. We still WhatsApp the cohort group every week — sharing tenders, opportunities, questions. Zenora didn't just teach us ESG, they built us a community.
Finance, HR, legal, or operations professionals tasked with sustainability responsibilities who want deep expertise.
Anyone looking to break into sustainability consulting or corporate ESG roles — with a recognised credential to back it up.
Founders, CEOs, and senior managers who want to embed sustainability into business strategy and report it credibly.
Consultants, NGO professionals, and researchers who want practical corporate sustainability skills to multiply their impact.
Practitioners — not just academics. Every session is led by someone who has done this at scale in the real world.
15+ years in sustainability consulting. Has led BRSR and GRI disclosures for listed companies across India and the Middle East.
Former climate advisor with the UNDP India programme. Expert in TCFD and science-based target setting for Indian corporates.
Ex-NDTV journalist turned sustainability communicator. Has crafted ESG narratives for Fortune 500 companies and pan-India brands.
No prior sustainability experience is required. Many of our top alumni came from finance, communications, legal, and operations backgrounds. What matters is your curiosity and commitment to the 8-week program.
All sessions are live and interactive — hosted online via Zoom. Recordings are provided after each session so you can revisit at any time. We do have optional in-person workshops in select cities for deeper practice.
Expect to spend approximately 5–7 hours per week — including 2 live sessions (2 hours each), readings, and assignments. The program is designed for working professionals and is manageable alongside full-time work.
It is Zenora's industry-recognised certification, awarded upon completing the 8-week program and capstone project. It signals ESG competency to employers and clients across India and is backed by Zenora's 10+ year reputation in sustainability consulting.
