Sprih’s Comprehensive Approach

  • ASAL utilized Sprih’s pre-embedded BRSR framework, which is fully aligned with SEBI’s guidelines. This eliminated the need for extensive preparatory work, allowing ASAL to focus on the actual reporting process.
  • The platform enabled multi-level user assignments, where tasks could be delegated with ease. Admins oversaw the entire report, while members and supervisors could manage subsections and individual questions, streamlining the workflow and collaboration.
  • To reduce redundancy, Sprih’s AI feature automatically fetched data from the previous year’s report. This ensured that responses that remained unchanged did not need to be re-entered, significantly reducing the workload and improving efficiency.
  • The platform offered real-time visibility into the progress at different levels—report, section, and subsection. This feature allowed ASAL to monitor the status of their BRSR report and ensure timely completion.
  • ASAL could download their report in various formats, including PDF, DOC, and XBRL, ensuring compatibility with different stakeholders and regulatory submissions.
  • Each question in the BRSR report was accompanied by a detailed description, guiding users on how to answer. For more complex queries, ASAL had access to Sprih’s experts for additional support, making the process easier for beginners and less experienced staff.
  • Sprih’s platform allowed comments at the question level, facilitating interaction and making the report audit-ready. Additionally, a three-level approval system was in place to ensure data quality and transparency.
