Environmental Health and Safety Consultants

What Environmental Health and Safety Consultants does

Environmental Health and Safety Consultants Pvt Ltd (EHSC) is a Bengaluru-based, family-owned environmental and social compliance firm founded in 2002 by Shivanand M. Dambal, an environmental engineering graduate. The company delivers NABET 'A' category-accredited Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Social Impact Assessment (SIA), CRZ clearances, Forest and Wildlife clearances, State Pollution Control Board consents (CFE/CFO), and on-site emergency plans to industrial, infrastructure, and hydro/river-valley projects across Karnataka and South India. EHSC is ISO 9001:2015 certified and operates a vertically integrated model combining advisory services with in-house analytical infrastructure.

The firm operates two NABL-accredited laboratories at its Bengaluru headquarters: the Environmental Health and Safety Research and Development Centre, recognised by the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), provides ambient air, stack, noise, water/wastewater, soil, and solid/hazardous waste analysis; the Food Testing Research and Development Centre is FSSAI-recognised and provides proximate, minerals/metals, microbiology, and pesticide residue testing. A third subsidiary, EHS Agro Enterprises (APEDA registered), operates nursery, polyhouse, fruit processing, organic vegetable processing, and cold storage operations with sample plots at Belagavi, representing an unusual adjacency of agricultural operations alongside the core regulatory consultancy. Ownership remains concentrated in the founding family — Managing Partner Shivanand M. Dambal, Chandana S. Dambal (Administration/Business), and Director Pavan Kumar Shivanand Dambal — with no external institutional investors.

Revenue is generated project-by-project through professional services fees and per-sample laboratory testing charges; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined via direct inquiry. The go-to-market is direct B2B field sales to enterprise and infrastructure developers, supplemented by website lead capture, phone, email, and LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram/YouTube presence. The company has executed 300+ cumulative projects spanning 49+ sugar/cogeneration/distillery, 46+ river valley/HE, 24+ integrated steel complex, 18+ forest clearances, 13+ pharmaceutical, 11+ wildlife conservation plans, and 5+ wildlife clearances, and is currently hiring environmental planners, environmental engineers, and a GIS analyst — signalling active capacity build-out despite no external funding history.
