“On this National Technology Day, we would like to highlight how innovation is helping us to make sustainable progress. A survey on Indian IT leaders published by IBM in November 2024, 96% said AI will positively impact sustainability and 98% mentioned that they plan to increase their IT investments to support sustainability goals.
At Visionet Systems, we see this sustainability readiness of the Indian IT sector as a defining moment for digital transformation to go hand-in-hand with environmental responsibility. Hence, we are embracing an AI-first approach to drive this change. Sectors such as Retail, Healthcare, and Banking could significantly reduce their carbon footprint using this approach. We help companies within these sectors to rethink their legacy systems and reinvent their business models with intelligent automation, guiding them toward a more sustainable future.
From AI to cloud-native platforms, we are dedicated to developing sustainability solutions that harness technology to minimize resource consumption, improve offer and supply chain productivity, and support greener business models. Our recently launched AI Now campaign is a key element of that—enabling all of our 2,300+ employees at Visionet to have genAI experience and be AI fluent in their respective teams.
Supporting this transformation is our in-house AI Lab, where we continuously innovate, develop custom AI, and automate industries. These labs play a key role in ensuring that the use of our product technology is supporting our sustainability goals by optimizing resource consumption, improving operations and evolving scalable, sustainable-based solutions.
We believe that true innovation isn’t just about solving today’s challenges—it’s about shaping a future where technology and sustainability move forward together.”

“National Technology Day is a celebration of India’s grit, ideas, and technological innovation. It’s startups that are reimagining how this country builds, scales, and leads—and at KOGO, we’re proud to be part of that movement. As one of the world’s leading AI Agentic companies, we’re pioneering India’s first full-stack Private AI Agentic Infrastructure—built to run behind the firewall, where data stays sovereign and intelligence stays local. From powering frontline healthcare to transforming defense and BFSI, our AI agents are already driving change where it matters most. For a truly Atmanirbhar Bharat, we don’t just need digital innovation—we need trusted, homegrown intelligence. That’s what we’re building.”

“We are living in a time where technology is changing everything around us. From driverless cars and smart robots to modern factories and better healthcare, innovation is creating a new, automated world. At the center of this change is artificial intelligence. But AI is only as good as the data it learns from.
As we build smarter systems, we also face bigger challenges. Many AI-powered solutions use a lot of energy. They need complex cooling systems. In some areas like drones, robotics, or self-driving cars, even a small delay in decision-making can be risky. The solution to these problems will determine how sustainable our future will be.
One key step in this direction is processing data closer to where it’s generated—at the edge. This reduces the need to send large volumes of data to the cloud, cutting down not just on costs and delays, but also on energy consumption. By minimizing data movement, edge processing helps make AI systems faster, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly
India has come a long way. Our engineers, scientists, and innovators are solving big problems every day. But now, we must take the next step. We need to design systems that are not just powerful but also use less energy, create less heat, and work faster. The future will not be built by speed alone. It will be built by thoughtful innovation and technology that is smart, efficient, and kind to the planet. That is how we move toward a better, more balanced world.”

“Technology has come a long way. In just a few decades, we’ve gone from dial-up internet to intelligent machines and self-learning software. We have reached a point where the market for AI related use cases is vast, amounting to around 244 billion U.S. dollars in 2025 and is expected to grow to well over 300% by 2030.
So, let us look at what is the soul of such technology? At its core, the soul of technology is not just about circuits, code, or algorithms—it’s about solving real problems, breaking barriers, and making the impossible, possible. Whether it’s connecting people across continents, curing diseases with data, or creating tools that think, the soul of tech is innovation with purpose. It’s creativity, curiosity, and bold vision—expressed through machines.
As we create, we must also protect. Cybersecurity is more than defense; it is the quiet guardian of progress. It protects innovation so it can truly thrive.”

“Innovation today is inseparable from responsibility. Empowering a sustainable tomorrow begins with building technology that advances and also endures. In cybersecurity, this means designing systems that are resilient by default, not patched after the fact. As innovation accelerates, the sustainability of our digital future hinges on trust: in the systems we create, the data we protect, and the people we serve.
Traditional, software-only security is no longer enough, especially in high-risk environments like data centers and 5G networks. These systems manage massive volumes of sensitive data and are increasingly targeted by sophisticated, hardware-level attacks. To protect them, we need security that’s built into the hardware itself, resilient by design, not reactive.
Innovation will always push boundaries. It’s our responsibility to ensure those boundaries are reinforced with integrity, privacy, and resilience, so that what we build today continues to empower generations to come.Empowering the future means securing it first.”
By-Nikhil Narayan, VP – Data Science, Ennoventure, Inc“This National Technology Day, the theme ‘Empowering a Sustainable Tomorrow Through Innovation’ serves as a powerful reminder that technology must do more than solve today’s problems, it must actively shape a better, more sustainable future. In a world facing climate change, dwindling resources and growing waste, innovation is no longer a luxury or an afterthought. It is a collective responsibility to create solutions that prioritize both progress and the planet.
Across industries, the momentum toward sustainable transformation is undeniable. Whether in packaging, logistics or consumer goods, the demand for smarter, more responsible alternatives to traditional systems is rising rapidly. Companies are increasingly expected to align with environmental values, reduce their carbon footprint and adopt circular economy principles. By replacing resource-intensive practices with digital-first, eco-conscious technologies, businesses have a unique opportunity to reduce waste, enhance supply chain transparency, and create long-term, scalable impact.
At Ennoventure, we’re proud to be part of this movement. Our invisible, AI-powered anti-counterfeit technology eliminates the need for wasteful physical markers, offering global brands a secure and sustainable alternative. Every protected package represents a commitment to innovation with integrity. For us, technology is about more than capability, it reflects our commitment to responsibility, ethical innovation and shaping a future that is safe, intelligent and sustainable for all.”
