Sagar holds a Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering and has built his professional practice at the intersection of cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, and software engineering. His compliance work has included hands-on implementation and advisory engagements to ISO/IEC 15408-1, the Common Criteria and EAL evaluation methodologies for information technology security, a standard that demands the same structured, evidence-based approach to system verification that CBAM reporting now demands of Indian exporters. That disciplinary foundation informs how CTG is built: as a system designed for audit, not convenience.

CTG did not emerge from a market thesis. It emerged from reading Regulation (EU) 2023/956 and its implementing acts in full, and recognising that the compliance obligation they impose on third-country operators is a precise engineering problem, not a reporting exercise. The calculation methodology defined in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2547 runs to sixty-three equations across eight annexes. That gap was the starting point.

CBAM is not a disclosure exercise where approximation is acceptable. A miscalculated Specific Embedded Emissions value, an incorrect emission factor, or a missing source stream in the operator's report translates directly into a financial penalty for the EU importer, and through contract terms, back to the Indian exporter. That is not a compliance failure. That is an engineering failure, and it is the founder's responsibility to ensure it does not happen. The standard CTG holds itself to is therefore the same standard the regulation imposes: calculation accuracy traceable to a cited equation, documentation complete enough for a trained verifier to sign without a second request, and an audit trail immutable from the moment data is entered. That standard is not the easiest position to build from. It is the only position that is defensible when an EU customs authority reviews a declaration. A platform that ships approximations is not a compliance tool. It is a liability dressed as one.
