Her work has appeared in countless publications over the years. From The New York Times, Economist, Guardian, Forbes, The Washington Post, Fast Company, Wired, and most recently Time, Esha has been keen to get solutions-oriented stories out in the news.

Over the years, companies have hired her to help with editorial projects on sustainability and provide guidance on any of their ongoing impact projects. These include companies such as Leviās, Pottery Barn, and Danone.
