Tomorrow, I'll be speaking at Google I/O Connect, Bengaluru on a topic I've become deeply passionate about: Lean Agentic AI.

We're entering an era where organizations will deploy not one or two agents—but thousands. The question is no longer: can we build them?

It's: can we design agents that are efficient by design — across cost, energy, and carbon?

In this session, I'll show how to engineer production-ready agentic systems that optimize across three currencies that compound simultaneously:  
💰 Dollars — reducing operational cost  
⚡ Watts — improving energy efficiency  
🌍 Carbon — attaching a real gCO₂e number to every agent task using the Green Software Foundation's Software Carbon Intensity (SCI) ISO specification.

Every wasted token costs money, watts, and emissions at once.

But carbon is only part of the story. As AI adoption accelerates, so do its impacts on water consumption, e-waste, and grid demand.

We'll also explore why measurement is the missing layer—connecting cost, energy, carbon, water, and waste into a single engineering discipline so we can optimize what actually matters.

We'll walk through practical architectural patterns on the Google Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform: model selection, orchestration, observability, evaluation, simulation, memory, and carbon-aware execution.

The goal is not just measurement—it's continuous reduction of cost, energy, carbon, water, and waste.

If you're attending Google I/O Connect, I'd love for you to join me at Community Lounge 1. And if you're around afterwards, please come and say hello. I'd love to chat about Agentic AI, Green Software, or whatever you're building.

More than anything, I'd love to see our developer community start treating cost and environmental impact as first-class engineering metrics.

A big thank you to Paul Ravindranath G , Rajat Bhatia, and the Google I/O Connect team for the invitation.

See you there!
