Software is not just eating the world, it is also eating the world of decarbonization. With every industry and business segment keen on reducing emissions as quickly as possible, digital solutions, by enabling energy & resource efficiencies and by streamlining operations, have emerged as key decarbonization drivers worldwide.
A World Economic Forum study has found that digital technologies reduce emissions by 20% by 2050 in three high emitting sectors- energy, mobility and materials.
A wide variety of digital tools are already being employed, and for a range of functions.
All these imply significant business potential for the world’s software hub – India.
EAI sees attractive opportunities in this domain for many medium and large Indian corporates, spanning across the entire spectrum of IT & digital solutions. We see significant opportunities emerging for both services and product based software firms.
