Here’s the Problem—and How Sanjay Fixes It

Industry Pain PointThe Problem in Plain EnglishSanjay’s Response (Results-Driven)
1. Air Compliance is a MazeTitle V, NSR, MACT, HON—agencies keep moving the goalposts, and one misstep can trigger violations or audits.16+ years of hands-on air compliance. Led air programs at Albemarle, Valero & Flint Hills. Zero fluff.
2. Flare Programs Are Under the MicroscopeEPA’s tightening the noose on flares. Consent decrees are brutal. Most engineers can’t even spell SVG or NHVCZ.Flare Lead at FHR. Drove $12M+ flare monitoring project at Valero. Knows EPA regs cold.
3. Permitting Bottlenecks Kill Project VelocityProjects stall. Delays = lost revenue. You need someone who speaks fluent NSR/PSD and can fight for operational leeway.Sanjay’s secured permits across TX, NM, and PA. Air modeling pro (AERMOD, CALPUFF, BREEZE).
4. Compliance and ESG Are on Two Different PlanetsEHS lives in a silo. ESG talks in jargon. Finance wants ROI. Nobody speaks the same language.MBA in Finance. ESG-trained (Harvard). Delivered GHG inventories for Chevron—1,000+ sites.
5. Global Projects Need U.S.-Level ExecutionMost “consultants” abroad can’t meet U.S. standards. You need someone who’s operated in both worlds.Led consulting ops in India, UK, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Philippines. Built ERM India’s air program.
6. You’re Tired of Consultants Who’ve Never Been on a Refinery FloorToo many PowerPoint heroes. Not enough in-the-trenches leaders who’ve handled audits, flares, and federal heat.Sanjay’s been in the pit. Ran point on BP Texas City $9M post-blast audit. Partnered with EPA & DOJ.
