Vivin R. Nair leads the sustainability portfolio and ESG initiatives at UST, a global technology company with over 30,000 employees worldwide. In this role, he designs and scales technology-led sustainability and compliance products, working at the intersection of software systems, climate data, and regulatory frameworks to help organizations operationalise ESG reporting, climate risk management, and regulatory disclosure.

Across the private sector and public-policy environments, Vivin has over four years of experience building data platforms and decision-support systems that translate policy and regulatory requirements into deployable digital infrastructure. His work includes the development of a local economic intelligence platform for Indian cities, enabling governments and urban institutions to analyse economic clusters, and development outcomes using structured data and analytics. This experience informs his current focus on AI-enabled governance systems, particularly in contexts where data integrity, explainability, and institutional accountability are critical.

Vivin’s work engages with AI policy and governance, examining how artificial intelligence reshapes regulatory capacity and enterprise accountability in sustainability and development contexts. He holds an MSc in Local Economic Development from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), where his research examined the role of government in the evolution and sustenance of technology clusters in India.
