Teesta derives its name from the Teesta River, a vital tributary of the Jamuna (Brahmaputra) flowing through the Indian subcontinent. Just as the river crosses borders, nourishes ecosystems, and sustains life, Teesta Innovations and Advisory transcends boundaries to enable growth, prosperity, and transformation for businesses. We are a niche and exclusive boutique platform built on deep experience, unwavering values, and a future-facing vision.

Our Philosophy

Wherever a River Touches, It Nourishes

Teesta is rooted in values—integrity, humility, and collective progress. We are more than advisors—we are enablers of impact.

We advocate for:

Education and Community Upliftment

We are proud to support Muktangan, a Mumbai-based NGO transforming education through a unique, inclusive model that integrates teacher training with school reform. By equipping women from underserved communities to become educators, Muktangan creates child-centered learning environments within the public school system. Today, the initiative reaches over 3,700 students across seven municipal schools, empowering both children and communities through education that is equitable, empathetic, and sustainable.

Teesta’s ESG practice, in collaboration with SnowKap—a Singapore-based ESG advisory firm with a presence in the Middle East and India—offers integrated ESG and legal (ESGL) solutions to help businesses navigate the evolving landscape of sustainable and compliant growth. By combining deep regulatory insight with ESG expertise, we support organisations in aligning with global and local standards such as BRSR, GRI, and UNPRI. Our approach spans the full ESG lifecycle, from risk and GHG baseline assessments to strategy development, implementation, monitoring, and reporting—ensuring that sustainability efforts are not only compliant but also create long-term value.
