Core Programs
⚡Net-Zero Transitions
⚡We apply systems thinking, policy analysis, and life-cycle sustainability assessments to develop grounded, sector-specific net-zero strategies that translate complex challenges into actionable, high-impact transition pathways.
🌾Climate Resilience
🌾We advance climate resilience and adaptation by co-developing locally rooted solutions with communities, MSMEs, and ecosystem partners—combining grassroots action, open data, and inclusive design to build long-term capacity and reduce systemic climate risks.
🔷Enterprise Advisory
🔷We guide start-ups, MSMEs, corporates, and industry bodies from net-zero ambition to action. Using open self-assessments and our Regenerative ValueChain+ toolkits, we deliver diagnostics, roadmaps, and ROI-driven solutions that build credible, funder-ready sustainability pathways.
🎓Sustainability Makers
🎓We shape future-ready sustainability leaders through immersive learning experiences that combine systems thinking, real-world practice, and transformative insight to drive meaningful sustainability action.
Our Causes
– our Causes –
Rooted in Local Realities, Shaping Systemic Change
At SusPoT, our causes reflect where our journey began — in real places, with real people, and urgent challenges. These are not abstract themes, but lived realities that drive our work and deepen our commitment to sustainability that is inclusive, practical, and grounded. From Bengaluru’s water commons to climate resilience for artisan MSMEs, and first-principles policy leadership in Tamil Nadu, each cause bridges the gap between grassroots complexity and systems transformation.
We believe that meaningful sustainability must be inclusive, practical, and grounded—and every cause we take on is a step toward shaping a regenerative future through deep listening, collaboration, and action.
Catalyst 2047
Catalyst 2047: The Sustainability Leadership Challenge empowers senior officials, decision-makers, and corporate leaders to embed first-principles sustainability and net-zero thinking into India’s centenary agenda. Through immersive talks, real-world case studies, hands-on group activities, open-data toolkits, and a high-impact peer network, participants emerge with an action-ready mindset to accelerate India’s sustainability transition.
