Founder & Editorial Lead, GreenGlobe25
Soumen Chakraborty is the founder and editorial lead of GreenGlobe25, an independent educational platform focused on explaining air pollution systems, environmental monitoring, and regulatory frameworks in India.
His work centers on translating complex environmental data—such as Air Quality Index (AQI) systems, CPCB monitoring networks, and publicly available pollution datasets—into structured, accessible explanations for general readers.
Background
Soumen holds a Master’s degree (M.A.) in Philosophy, with a syllabus component covering environmental studies. To build further subject-specific grounding, he has also completed a certificate course, “Ecology, Ecosystem, Climate Change & Sustainability” (Udemy, September 2025). His interest in air pollution and environmental data grew out of this academic background, and his current work involves studying Indian air quality systems using publicly available datasets, institutional reports, and scientific literature.
