Annual Reports, ESG & Corporate Publications | Editorial Design

I help organisations turn complex corporate content into publications people actually read. Thirty-five years in editorial and publication design, nineteen of them at Mint — India's second-largest business daily — where I ran the creative department and reported to the Editor-in-Chief. Recipient of four WAN-IFRA international design awards. What I bring to a report is not decoration. It is editorial direction: what the narrative is, what order it goes in, what gets cut, and how a reader moves through eighty pages without losing the thread. I work with corporate teams, sustainability leaders, publishers and B2B organisations on: • Annual reports and integrated reports • Investor communications and board presentations • ESG and sustainability reports • Corporate publications, white papers and thought-leadership documents • Research reports and data-led publications • Editorial publications and digital magazines • Corporate brochures and technical documentation Recent work includes sustainability and impact reports for Zetwerk and Acuity, three editions of The Spirits News, brand guidelines for The Convergence Foundation, and an expanding system of brochures, manuals and dealer communication for OMNI X Technologies in Australia. Clients value my ability to: • Diagnose the structural problem before touching the design • Bring hierarchy and clarity to dense, technical content • Build systems that stay consistent across long documents and future editions • Work confidently with multiple contributors and stakeholders • Manage production calmly and to deadline On larger assignments I usually begin by reviewing the audience, content architecture, workflow and production risks — and will tell you if I think the brief is pointed at the wrong problem. I also produce AI-assisted corporate film: report launch films, impact and compliance video, branded explainers. Useful when a report needs to reach people who will never open the PDF. If your project involves complex information, several contributors and high expectations, I can help you structure it and get it read.
