Independent consultancy · Bengaluru & Chennai
I'm MuthuRema N — a chemical engineer and EHS practitioner who moved into analytics. I help industrial plants convert safety, environment and operations data into decisions: dashboards that get used, risk assessments that hold up, and processes digitised on the Microsoft stack you already own.
Practised inside
What I take on
Scoped as short diagnostics, project-based builds, or a retained monthly cadence — whichever fits how your plant actually runs.
Turn scattered incident, audit and observation data into leading indicators leadership actually acts on.
Replace paper registers and email chains with tools your teams already have a licence for.
Chemical, process and machinery risk assessed with quantitative rigour, not checklists.
Black Belt led improvement projects that close on measured, sustained savings.
Emission and resource data assembled to a defensible, audit-ready standard.
One way of working across plants, so audits stop being fire drills.
Evidence
30%
Water efficiency gain
Led a DMAIC project at a DIAGEO manufacturing unit that cut specific water consumption by 30% and held the gain through a control plan.
Paperless
Business unit transformation
Moved an entire business unit off paper using SharePoint, Power Automate and Forms, removing manual consolidation from the EHS reporting cycle.
Multi-site
Predictive safety modelling
Built risk assessment and scenario models for new projects and upgrades across renewable energy blade and turbine manufacturing.
11+ yrs
Heavy industry exposure
Cement, chemicals, fertiliser, automotive, beverage and wind energy — regulated environments where EHS decisions carry real consequence.
Track record
Cement, chemicals, fertiliser, automotive, beverage and wind energy — the analytics came after the operating experience, not instead of it.

Separate interest
Alongside my consulting practice I am a partner at Thaarei Ventures LLP, which supplies access control and industrial safety hardware, including turnstiles. It operates as its own business with its own commercial terms.
Independence commitment. My consulting advice is never conditional on buying from Thaarei. Recommendations are vendor-neutral, and where a Thaarei product would be a candidate, I disclose the interest and expect you to evaluate alternatives on merit. Advisory and supply stay in separate engagements.
Get in touch
A short call is usually enough to tell whether this is a two-week diagnostic or a three-month build. No deck required — send the problem in a paragraph.
