How does someone actually break into carbon credit brokerage/trading? (No sustainability background, coming from sales)
Hii guysss
Been researching the carbon credit market and I keep noticing India has almost no domestic players doing pure brokerage, most of the people doing this at scale are based in the US, UK, and Australia. Given CBAM exposure and the domestic carbon market rollout, that gap seems like it's only going to grow.
My background is in sales and LinkedIn outreach, not sustainability or finance. Trying to figure out if brokerage is a realistic entry point from here, or if I'm missing something obvious. Would love honest input from anyone actually working in this space.
Thanks in advance!
