Speaking at Google I/O on Lean Agentic AI: as organizations scale from a handful of agents to thousands, systems must be efficient by design — across cost, energy, and carbon. Slides and demo available on GitHub.
A session at the Green Software Development Karlsruhe meetup on connecting Software Carbon Intensity (SCI) to agentic systems — why cost, energy, and carbon are deeply connected but not the same thing, and how to start measuring.
Keynote at CleanEnviro Summit Singapore Catalyst 2026, hosted by the National Environment Agency: why sustainability and business value are the same path, the shift to outcome-based metrics in Environmental Services, and the two dimensions of Green AI.
Presenting the Green Software Foundation's expanded vision: green software now spans carbon, energy, water, and waste, across every layer of the technology stack — from silicon to screen. What the new definition means for practitioners and decision-makers.
A session with the APAC AI and Sustainability Council on why AI budgets bust at enterprise scale, why cost and environmental footprint rise together — and why no technical fix works without a single accountable owner and board-level attention.
Invited as a judge for the Build and Grow AI Hackathon 2.0 by GDG Cloud Mumbai and GDG Cloud Pune — fifteen teams, real use cases, and a format that turns ideas into working solutions in a weekend.
A deep-dive episode on SCI for AI — the industry's first consensus-based standard for measuring the carbon footprint of AI systems, built on the ISO-certified SCI methodology and designed for the full AI lifecycle, from training to inference.
A panel discussion around the Net Zero Act at IIITB Hyderabad, and a session on building green software applications — practical strategies to embed sustainability into every phase of development, from design to deployment.
A snippet from a virtual presentation delivered to a leading financial organization: what generative AI changes about the sustainability equation, what Green AI means in practice, and why efficiency and responsibility matter most in regulated industries.
A Green Software Foundation panel asking whether AI can truly be green: why the footprint extends beyond algorithms to infrastructure and embodied emissions, three angles for problem-solving, and how sustainability integrates into every phase of the AI lifecycle.
