How Data Centers Can Balance Growth with Environmental Responsibility
Data‑center investment in India is projected to exceed $100 billion by 2027, driving a surge in digital services but also raising sustainability concerns. Ashish Arora, CEO of Nxtra by Airtel, argues that sustainability must be embedded in every stage of data‑center design, construction and operation, with goals such as 100 % renewable energy, water‑neutrality and AI‑driven efficiency. He highlights technologies like liquid immersion cooling, free‑air economisation, and real‑time AI monitoring to cut power usage and water consumption, while urging firms to adopt green‑building standards and embed climate targets in board‑level decisions.
