Software runs on hardware, and any uptick in software use increases the emissions of machines and devices on which it runs. Green software practices can reduce energy consumption in multiple ways from programming and architecture choices to user experience..

Nasscom Technology conference – Green Software Session

Had a great time interacting with live audience and talking about #technology #sustainability and #greensoftware at the Nasscom Annual Technology Conference #NATC.

Technology itself has a carbon footprint and we need to consider sustainability as a first class citizen while designing and delivering software applications.

As software professionals, we all have a role to play to embed energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions to contribute our part towards a greener environment. Start your journey with small changes, small improvements can have a big impact at scale.
