About Testa & Tegmen
We are united by a common goal: creating a sustainable ecosystem where businesses and the environment thrive in harmony — and where the next generation of environmental professionals is equipped to lead.
Our Mission
To make environmental regulation, sustainability strategy and capability building work — together, and in service of long-term value.
Testa & Tegmen was founded on a single conviction: regulation done well is a strategy unlock, not a tax. We work alongside leadership teams, sustainability officers and policy desks across India to translate complexity into action.
Beyond consulting, we run a Learning Academy for students and early-career professionals — because the climate transition needs a workforce equal to its ambition.
