Why Brandfather

Design that serves your stakeholders.
Not just your printer.

Most agencies treat corporate reports as a formatting job. We treat them as strategic communications. The difference shows in every chapter, chart, and cover.

01 — FRAMEWORK EXPERTISE

BRSR Core specialists

Certified BRSR and Integrated Reporting practitioners on every project. We map your data to SEBI's disclosure requirements precisely — not generically.

02 — CONTENT + DESIGN

We write and design

Unlike pure design studios, we provide content strategy, financial narrative writing, ESG data structuring, and design under one roof. One agency, no handoffs.

03 — DIGITAL-FIRST

Interactive + print

Every report is designed for digital-first engagement — interactive PDFs, web-based microsites, accessible formats — alongside print-ready files.

04 — DATA STORYTELLING

Numbers that communicate

We transform raw financial and ESG data into infographics, visual narratives, and data callouts that make complex performance data genuinely readable.

05 — CONFIDENTIALITY

Airtight NDAs

Every engagement begins with a mutual NDA. Pre-declaration financial data, board decisions, and unreleased ESG metrics remain secure throughout the project.

06 — TIMELINES

4–8 weeks. No surprises.

Our project management is built for the seasonality of corporate reporting — Q4 crunch, AGM deadlines, SEBI filing dates. We hit deadlines.

Frequently asked

Questions from corporate teams.

Is BRSR reporting mandatory? Which companies?
+
Yes. SEBI mandated BRSR reporting for the top 1,000 listed companies by market capitalisation from FY 2022-23. From FY 2023-24, the BRSR Core framework with enhanced quantitative disclosures applies to the top 150 entities. Value chain disclosures are being phased in from FY 2025-26. Voluntary BRSR filing is encouraged for all other listed entities.
What's the difference between BRSR, ESG report, and sustainability report?
+
BRSR is SEBI's mandatory Indian framework with specific 140+ disclosure data points across 9 NGRBC principles. ESG report typically follows global frameworks (GRI, TCFD, SASB) and is voluntary — it's often more investor-communication focused. A sustainability report is broader, covering environmental, social, and economic impact. Most listed companies now publish all three — or an integrated document combining all.
How long does annual report design take?
+
Typically 4–8 weeks from content readiness. A standard 80-120 page annual report takes 5–6 weeks. Complex integrated reports or digital-first microsites take 8–12 weeks. We recommend engaging us 3–4 months before your AGM date to allow for content development + design + review rounds.
Do you provide content / writing, or only design?
+
Both. We offer end-to-end services: content strategy, financial narrative writing, ESG data structuring, MD&A drafting, infographic brief writing, and copy editing — alongside full design, typesetting, and production. Many clients provide the raw data and content; we handle structuring, writing, and all design.
Can you handle undisclosed / pre-announcement financial data?
+
Yes. Every engagement begins with a mutual NDA. Pre-declaration financial data, unpublished board decisions, and unreleased ESG metrics are handled under strict confidentiality protocols. Our internal teams work under a need-to-know access policy.
Do you do XBRL tagging for SEBI filings?
+
Yes. We provide XBRL tagging for BRSR Core disclosures required by SEBI for the top 150 listed entities, as well as financial statement XBRL for MCA filings. This is provided as part of our BRSR service or as a standalone engagement.
