The problem
Environmental consultancies managing 50-200+ factory clients track everything in scattered Excel sheets, WhatsApp groups, and paper notebooks.
A consent lapses on a date nobody was watching. GPCB issues a closure direction, production stops, and your client asks why you didn't tell them.
The 2019 consent order is on someone's old laptop. The lab report is in a WhatsApp group. The EC letter is in an email thread nobody can find.
The same address, NIC code and capacity typed again into CTE, CTO, Form-V, Form-IV and the HW authorisation. Every typo is a fresh query from GPCB.
Your engineers lose a day a week to status calls. Not because clients are difficult — because they genuinely have no other way to find out.
THE SOLUTION
EnvironDesk replaces your Excel sheets, WhatsApp groups, and paper notebooks with one structured, automated system.
Every compliance across every client, ranked by what's about to bite. Open EnvironDesk in the morning and you already know where your day goes.

Testimonials
Consultancies in Ahmedabad, Vadodara and Surat run their entire client book on EnvironDesk.
“We were tracking 78 factories across four Excel files and a WhatsApp group. Two CTOs lapsed in 2024 and one client nearly got a closure notice. Since EnvironDesk we haven't missed a single renewal — the 90-day alert lands before I've even thought about it.”
Nirav Patel
Managing Partner, Patel Enviro Consultants·Ahmedabad
“Form-V used to take my team three full days per client every September. The AI draft pulls the water balance and waste figures straight from our own data and gets us to about 90% in half a minute. We now file 40 returns in the time 12 used to take.”
Dr. Sneha Desai
Director, GreenSphere Environmental Services·Vadodara
“The client portal was the surprise. Factory owners used to call five times a week asking about their NOC status. Now they just log in and look. My engineers got about a day a week back, and clients think we became more organised overnight.”
Kaushik Mehta
Founder, Shakti Enviro Labs·Surat

Everything consultancies ask us before switching. Still stuck? We're a WhatsApp message away.
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256, and is hosted in AWS Mumbai (ap-south-1), so your data never leaves India. Every account is logically isolated, access is controlled by role-based permissions, and every change is written to an audit trail. We take automated encrypted backups every six hours with 30-day retention, and you can export your complete data at any time.
