Ketan Patel
Founder · Dignitais
Ketan builds the systems that turn sustainability promises into something regulators trust, companies can operate, and producers can live with — particularly in markets where infrastructure, regulation, and on-the-ground realities rarely align.
At Enveritas he leads operations, certification, and machine-learning teams working across 38 countries — integrating field teams, satellite monitoring, and AI-driven analytics into one operational system, and ensuring the resulting data is credible enough for audits, certification decisions, and emerging regulatory frameworks including EUDR, ECGT, and CSRD/CSDDD.
He led Enveritas through ISO/IEC 17065 accreditation, establishing a certification body trusted by regulators and multinational companies. Across more than 40 countries he works with companies, governments, and development agencies to implement systems that survive contact with real markets.
Most useful where regulation, technology, and operations collide — particularly when organisations need credibility, not just strategy.
ISO/IEC 17065, 17029 and 14024 conformity assessment — led Enveritas to accreditation

A founder building the infrastructure for a structural shift he has been inside.
The assurance industry is moving from periodic audits to continuous, data-driven verification. Sustainability data is being asked to carry the same weight as financial or safety data — with the same scrutiny, the same defensibility, the same audit trail.
RSPNSBL is what that shift looks like as infrastructure. Built by someone whose operational career has been, for more than a decade, designing exactly these systems — for real producers, in real supply chains, against real regulators.
i
Accreditation lineage
Built by the person who took a certification body through ISO/IEC 17065 accreditation. The governance, impartiality, and quality systems are not academic — they are lived.
ii
Primary-source alignment
Every requirement linked to its official publication, every change tracked at the regulation level — not summarised, not paraphrased.
iii
Deterministic by design
Every output is a function of inputs that can be audited. No engine freelances; no answer is opinion. Reproducibility is a property of the system, not a promise.
iv
Built for the market
Designed from the start to be commercially viable for obligated companies and workable for the producers and suppliers whose data ends up in the chain.
