Arvind SmartSpaces Builds Future-Ready BRSR Reporting with Sprih

Arvind SmartSpaces Limited (ASL), a leading name in Indian real estate, partnered with Sprih to streamline and elevate its sustainability reporting and compliance processes.

Known for design-first, community-centric developments across the country, ASL is now also setting benchmarks in sustainability reporting and climate responsibility.

With Sprih’s intelligent platform and expert guidance, ASL centralized its data, improved sustainability metric quality, and accelerated its BRSR (Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report) process – all without compromising on design, governance, or storytelling integrity. ASL's sustainability KPIs are now aligned with its brand philosophy of building not just homes, but holistic ecosystems designed to inspire.

Introduction

Arvind SmartSpaces represents a new generation of real estate development, combining the institutional credibility of the Arvind Group with a commitment to design excellence and strategic execution.

As sustainability norms tightened under SEBI’s new BRSR framework, ASL saw an opportunity – not just to comply, but to lead. The company was determined to embed sustainability into its corporate DNA and communicate its impact clearly and confidently to stakeholders. This was a bold move: rather than treating sustainability disclosure as a check-the-box exercise, ASL wanted to set a new industry benchmark in transparency and responsibility.

When the journey began, however, ASL faced a maze of data streams and first-time reporting challenges. The organization needed a way to simplify complex sustainability data, speed up reporting cycles, and preserve its brand’s design-centric storytelling.x

Challenges

The Hurdles in Arvind Smartspace's Path

First-Time Compliance with BRSR
2024 marked ASL’s first year of mandatory BRSR reporting. Building a full sustainability report from the ground up was no small task. They needed a partner who could guide both strategy and execution—and help them deliver a report that wasn’t just compliant, but genuinely reflective of who they are.
Data Fragmentation Across 15 Locations
Data was coming in from 15 different project locations in inconsistent formats and spreadsheets. Important sustainability metrics – from energy usage to waste management – were scattered across offices and site teams. This fragmentation made it difficult to validate information or trace it back for audits. Simply
Dynamic Project Pipeline
ASL’s rapid growth and 44+ million sq. ft. development pipeline meant new projects were launching across multiple cities simultaneously. Each project brought new data and new reporting needs. The reporting system had to be future-proof and scalable, capable of evolving as new residential towers, townships, and commercial spaces came online.
Balancing Compliance with Brand Identity
A unique challenge was ensuring that the sustainability report would reflect ASL’s high sustainability standards and brand ethos. The report had to reflect the same care and creativity they bring to their projects, and speak meaningfully to their stakeholders.

Solutions

Sprih’s Comprehensive Approach

AI-Powered Content Generation: Sprih’s AI engine, SustainSense, jump-started the reporting process by generating an initial draft of ASL’s BRSR report. By benchmarking peer reports and contextualizing ASL’s own data, the AI produced a well-structured first draft in days – a task that might have taken the team weeks to do manually.
GHG Emissions & Energy Calculations: Environmental data can be complex, so Sprih automated the heavy lifting. Using verified emission factors and granular activity data from ASL’s operations, Sprih’s platform calculated Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions for the company.
Centralized sustainability Data Hub: Sprih worked with ASL’s teams to break down data silos. We helped standardize and consolidate all sustainability data – from construction site fuel usage to corporate HR policies – into one centralized hub. This became a single source of truth for sustainability information. Come reporting time, ASL could pull accurate, audit-ready data at the press of a button.
Narrative + Design Support Knowing how important design and storytelling are to ASL, Sprih didn’t stop at data. The platform also helped shape the report’s narrative and look-and-feel. Every chart, graphic, and paragraph was crafted to reflect ASL’s “Designed to Inspire” philosophy. The end product was a report that read less like a compliance form and more like the story of ASL’s commitment to sustainable communities.
Materiality & Sustainability Prioritization: Sprih also guided ASL through a materiality assessment to pinpoint which sustainability issues mattered most to their business and stakeholders. Together, we identified key impact areas – such as greenhouse gas emissions, energy efficiency, water management, and community development – that aligned with ASL’s vision and values.
