GreenField focuses on energy-intensive sectors

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Incubated by a Kolkata-based engineering firm, energy and environment management software provider GreenField Software is optimistic about growth opportunities in India.

The company recently rolled out GFS Crane DC, an infrastructure management software, with a focus on captive and commercial data centers. It also provides customizable enterprise sustainability management software GFS Crane SMS.

Energy management expert and GreenField Software director Shekhar Dasgupta says the company is focusing on saving cost and optimizing energy and water usage. “We are focusing on various energy-intensive industries, as their scarcity has posed a huge business risk in India today.”

“Waste management has become a huge problem that needs to be managed effectively,” said Dasgupta.

The company also offers advisory services as well as facilitates energy audits and sustainability reports.

According to a Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) report, 680 industrial units and the railways together consume 40 per cent of the country’s power production. In such a scenario, the company feels that it is right time to leverage relevant solutions to address the issue.

It believes that the recent BSE green index communiqué is a right step in this direction. Energy efficiency, timely analytics and sustainability management have become key imperatives for developing countries like India, it says.

GreenField is yet to ink a deal with its solution partners. The company is looking at power-hungry industries, such as government, private data centers and BFSI, as well as continuous processing sectors such as cement, paper and manufacturing.
