Orka : To have the Energy or Strength to do Something

Kaushik had created a course on ESG for us which is totally fantastic. He had done such a great work. Kaushik is knowledgeable in terms of ESG and advanced technologies. I recommend working with Kaushik.

I am pleased to recommend Dr. Kaushik Sridhar, who is an exceptional resource and a treasure trove of knowledge in the field of environment. His deep understanding of environmental issues is matched only by his passion for sustainable solutions. Dr. Kaushik's ability to convey complex concepts in an accessible manner makes him an invaluable asset to any team. Beyond his expertise, what truly sets Dr. Kaushik apart is his empathy and positivity. Dr. Kaushik's commitment to environmental sustainability is evident in his proactive approach to projects and initiatives. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking to work with a dedicated professional who truly makes a difference.

Governance Institute of Australia originally engaged Kaushik to write and deliver our inaugural capability-aligned short course in ESG. As a contractor course author, he was professional, organised, and a pleasure to work with. Further to that, as a course presenter he is engaging, knowledgeable and able to draw upon his vast experience to deliver content in a way that is both accessible and at the cutting edge. We were so delighted we have since engaged him for another assignment and look forward to a long partnership with the Institute and the Governance Academy.

Kaushik facilitated an 8-week program on Change management for sustainability in industry. Expertise on sustainability blended with the journey industry has to embark on and the challenges to evolve to a better tomorrow. A well-structured and delivered learning program that flowed and encouraged all participants to engage.

It was a pleasure working with Dr. Kaushik throughout the course. He was able to clearly articulate and work through each learning module while still ensuring to capture all the key learning requirements. Dr. Kaushik faced some difficult days with various members of the learning team, having to drop in and out of the sessions, the ability shown to continue to build and progress was a great attribute to the learning style presented, and was very much welcomed by the team. Dr. Kaushik is a passionate presenter who believes whole heartedly in his subject, is clear in his delivery and subsequently, this creates a fantastic and relatable learning environment that I would happily recommend to others.

Without hesitation I can recommend Dr. Kaushik Sridhar for his outstanding ESG consulting expertise. In supporting the development of our ESG Framework, he has excelled in three key areas: framework creation, research, and communication. Dr. Sridhar developed a scalable ESG framework tailored to our needs, aligning our operations with top sustainability standards. His thorough research and benchmarking positioning will enable us to pursue our goal of becoming an industry leader, driving our ESG initiatives forward. His exceptional communication skills ensured that complex ESG concepts were clearly understood across all levels, fostering a culture of sustainability within the organisation. Dr. Sridhar’s contributions have significantly advanced our ESG commitment and performance. I strongly recommend him to any organisation seeking to enhance their ESG capabilities.

It has been one of the greatest pleasures working with and learning from Kaushik. A pure talent in ESG with so much passion it inspires everyone to do better, think better and put the world before themselves. Adding to this chance of joining the same Evolution family, is a friend whom I truly appreciate and to help you not sweat the small stuff. Kaushik will benefit any organisation and anyone who meets him, watches his presentations, listen to previous interviews. He brings true authenticity to the workplace and life.

I have known Kaushik for a few years now. Whilst there are many aspects of Kaushik that I admire the top three would be (1) his energy and how he always makes your opinion feel valued and appreciated; (b) how he works with operational mining professionals to both apply what they are doing every day into an ESG framework, and encourage us to put the effort to further improve our ESG outcomes; and (3) his ability to communicate with a wide and diverse audience. He is the perfect person to work within an organisation, help it collect focused data to understand its performance, and then communicate that performance in a way that demonstrates where we are and where we want to go.

Dr Kaushik Sridhar, who is a valued member of Evolution Mining’s Sustainability Leadership Team, has proven to be a diligent proponent of the Company's ESG strategy. Kaushik has been instrumental, and has shown some great leadership in leading the charge towards developing and embedding robust ESG processes across the business. Kaushik's coaching/mentoring efforts within Evolution has lifted the Sustainability and Operational Teams' knowledge and understanding of the ESG risk environment. He is a great asset to the organisation and would be a highly valued leader for any organisation looking to embark on their ESG journey.

I had the privilege of working with and learning from Kaushik on an impactful career changing ESG and Sustainability enterprise project. This was one of the major strategic projects that was going to uplift a global organisation to the next level. Our delivery timeframes were tight and we had to build a first of its kind ESG reporting solution. In ESG, a lot of stuff was new to a lot of people at the time. We had to rely on Kaushik's industry knowledge, competence and experience to demystify the business challenge, define the building blocks, influencing and managing various stakeholders, and bringing people together to deliver a successful data enabled ESG Reporting technology platform. I also enjoyed just working with Kaushik and I hope there will be an opportunity to work with him again in future. Any organisation looking to advance their ESG and Sustainability agenda would hugely benefit from Kaushik's vast experience and knowledge in the space.

Kaushik encourages those around him to strive for success, accepting failure as a necessary step in that pursuit. His approachable demeanour, willingness to assist, and selflessness in prioritising the growth and achievements of his team and others, set him apart as a leader. His knowledge, skill, outlook on life and positive demeanour are unparalleled, and I consider myself incredibly fortunate to call him a mentor.

I worked with Kaushik for three years - and consider him a mentor. Kaushik always demonstrates fair, honest and supportive leadership - and is always willing to listen and help whether I need professional or personal advice. Kaushik's ability to build rapport, emanate positivity and lead with empathy and integrity are some of his best traits.

Dr Kaushik Sridhar was recently the MC for our Darebin Pitch It (Virtual) Grand Final, and shared his wealth of knowledge, experience and passion for sustainability, business and entrepreneurship. He was engaging, informative and really a pleasure to work with. Wonderful MC and look forward to working with him again soon!

It was fantastic to have Kaushik MC and provide a key note speech at the grand final of Darebin Pitch It - Darebin City Council's innovation and entrepreneurship program. Kaushik was responsive to our brief, contributed his deep expertise and ideas and was highly engaging throughout the virtual event. I can definitely recommend Kaushik as an MC and a great person to work with. Thanks Kaushik, look forward to next time!

Kaushik is a consummate sustainability professional who is able to effectively create a path for business to navigate the journey to sustainability. This journey requires keen commercial instincts and highly developed communication skills. Kaushik is an extremely effective communicator who creates change with his positive approach to engagement in his endeavours. This, coupled with his humanity and ready smile, made him a pleasure to work with in a large solar rollout we did together in 2019. Whatever the challenge I would expect Kaushik to deliver full value in crafting and delivering a sustainability program for any business.

Kaushik is a dedicated, ambitious, result driven manager and thoughtful individual. If you ever need someone to deliver under pressure, no slip-ups, just results, Kaushik is your man! He is great in dealing with difficult situations and a fantastic problem solver. Kaushik is very passionate and has great vision for his work. His focus keeps everything moving smoothly, he makes sure all the deadlines are met, and makes sure that whatever project he is working on meets the highest standards. He has built a strong (and deserved) reputation as someone with vision, diligence and honour – someone who gets things done! I have no hesitation in recommending Kaushik and know that he will always give his best in any endeavour.

Kaushik is a personable individual that gets on well with those around him. He is focused and dedicated to producing his very best at all times. Kaushik always brought his keen analytical skills to the table and was an excellent leader and ‘doer’ in any team situation. His many years as a management consultant were evident in the way he approached tasks and achieved outcomes. Kaushik is a proactive and tireless contributor who would make a great addition to any team. I would highly recommend him for any position, as he naturally rises to the occasion when presented with something he is passionate about.
