As someone working in tech, the focus on an integrated approach is key. You can't just bolt on sustainability later. Glad to see an Indian summit highlighting these engineering challenges. The 'People, Planet, Progress' pillars sound promising.

Reducing carbon emissions from data centres is crucial for our climate goals. Hope these technologies become affordable and widespread, not just for big corporations. Jai Hind!

Good to see the summit happening at Bharat Mandapam. We need to build our own AI infrastructure with Indian conditions in mind. Cooling solutions that work in the US or Europe might not be enough for our peak temperatures.

While the intent is good, I'd like to see more concrete numbers. "We reduce power consumption" is a claim many make. Transparency with actual PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) metrics before and after implementing their solutions would be more convincing.

The three Sutras framework is brilliant – People, Planet, Progress. It's heartening to see India taking a leadership role in pushing for a human-centric and environmentally conscious approach to AI development. This is the right direction.
