ESG & Financial Market Research Guidance (Indian Stock Market – PhD Level)
Budget: ₹400 – ₹750 INR
Project Requirement: ESG & Financial Market Research Guidance (Indian Stock Market – PhD Level)
I am a PhD researcher in finance working on a study that explores the link between sustainability and stock market performance in India. I require guidance from an expert in Indian financial markets who has knowledge or experience with:
ESG investing / ESG indices in India
NSE/BSE sustainability index construction (e.g., NIFTY 100 ESG, NIFTY 100 ESG Leaders, NIFTY 100 Enhanced ESG)
factor behaviour / drivers of equity returns
What I Need Help With
I am looking for someone who can:
Suggest which ESG index or group of Indian ESG indices is most appropriate to study
(e.g., NIFTY 100 ESG, Enhanced ESG, ESG Leaders, etc.)
with justification on academic relevance, availability of data, and novelty of findings.
Help identify the key stock market variables / factors that influence ESG index performance
– e.g., momentum, beta, sector exposure, volatility, macro indicators, thematic variables, etc.
Advise on selecting the independent variables for empirical analysis
– particularly those that realistically affect ESG indices in Indian market context.
Provide academic reasoning / practical intuition behind:
Why those indices matter
Why recommended variables are important
How they relate to ESG / sustainability finance research
Desirable Expertise / Background
✔ Financial markets / equity research background
✔ Understanding of Indian equity indices and ESG index methodology
✔ Experience with factor investing, portfolio analytics, or index construction
✔ Research exposure is a bonus but not mandatory
Deliverables Expected
A written or call-based explanation of:
Which ESG index is best suited for research
Why it should be selected
What independent variables (financial / risk / macro / factor-based) should be studied
Clear rationale linking sustainability concepts with stock market behaviour.
Formats may include:
✔ consultation calls
✔ written notes
✔ research outline suggestions
The output will be used to shape my PhD analysis framework and guide machine learning / econometric modelling of ESG index behaviour.
So academic clarity and Indian market insight are more important than trading signals.
Ideal for
Financial analysts
ESG / sustainability analysts
Portfolio managers
Academics or doctoral researchers with finance exposure
Index methodology professionals
