Breathe ESG

Breathe ESG is an Indian software company that provides a sustainability management platform for organisations that need to collect ESG data, calculate emissions and produce regulatory and voluntary disclosures. The product is positioned as a connected data layer rather than a single reporting tool: it consolidates sustainability data from spreadsheets, emails and separate systems into one governed dataset, standardises units and categories, deduplicates records and maintains an audit trail recording what changed, who changed it and when.

Functional modules cover ESG data management, carbon and emissions accounting for Scope 1 and Scope 2, Scope 3 calculation across suppliers, logistics and the value chain, product carbon footprint analysis across product lifecycles, supplier and value chain engagement (data requests, automated reminders and response tracking), and multi-framework reporting. The reporting workflow lets users select a framework and reporting entity, autofill disclosures from validated metrics, previous responses and linked evidence, collaborate with internal and external reviewers on comments and approvals, and export reports by framework, entity and format. An AI layer branded INARA (referenced on the site as Inara 2.1) checks datasets for errors and inconsistencies, infers missing values, assesses reporting readiness and framework compliance gaps, drafts narrative disclosure responses, and produces recommendations that remain linked to the underlying source records and calculations. The company also runs Breathe Zero, a community and events network for chief sustainability officers, supply chain leads and climate practitioners.

Founding story

The company says it was founded in 2022 on the premise that sustainability work — collecting data, calculating emissions, meeting reporting requirements and pursuing climate goals — still largely happens across spreadsheets, disconnected systems and manual processes, and that sustainability teams should instead have technology that consolidates their data, simplifies calculations and shows where they stand and what to do next.

Business model

Breathe ESG sells enterprise sustainability software, marketed to organisations through demo requests and an AI trial on its website. Corporate filings classify the entity under information technology and application development and software solutions, and its associated brand is described as offering ESG reporting and sustainability tracking services.
