Sauvik Dey — Associate Consultant

I work at the intersection of climate finance, adaptation, and public policy, with a focus on designing and managing programs that build resilience in vulnerable communities and systems. Currently, I serve as a Technical Advisor with GIZ India, where I lead climate and disaster risk finance initiatives under Indo-German bilateral cooperation, with a strong emphasis on heatwave resilience, climate risk insurance, and governance innovation. My work spans the lifecycle of program strategy, stakeholder engagement, government relations, project management and implementation oversight, partnering with Indian ministries, national institutions, line departments, financial institutions, and policy think tanks. I bring experience in contract and partner management, policy alignment, technical advisory, and multi-stakeholder coordination at national and subnational levels. Previously portfolio management at Satin Creditcare, supported women borrowers in underserved regions of eastern India. I hold an MBA from XIMB, backed by operational experience with UberEATS and research on energy transitions and alternative fuel systems. I’m especially interested in the convergence of climate risk, finance, and climate tech and how we can scale market-driven, community-anchored solutions for the Global South. Let’s connect on: climate risk finance, climate tech, adaptation strategy, government relations, resilience innovation, public policy, international cooperation, or scaling solutions that work for the planet and its people.
