New Delhi, February 26 Incorporating digital architecture into the energy ecosystem is essential for transformation in the climate sector, according to experts at the Mosambi Climate Conference (MC2), held as part of the ongoing Delhi Climate Innovation Week.
The second edition of the conference positioned itself as a curated, action-oriented platform accelerating the deployment of climate technology across the Global South.
"As soon as you incorporate digital architecture into the energy ecosystem, you will see a transformation. Carbon efficiency, energy efficiency, and now energy intelligence – this is the next frontier to optimize demand-side energy, leading to greater resilience and competitiveness," said Venkat Garimella, Vice President, Sustainability, Schneider Electric India, highlighting digitalization as the next leap.
Organized by the Climate Collective Foundation (CCF), in partnership with Schneider Electric, MC2 brought together policymakers, corporations, utilities, multilateral institutions, investors, and climate-focused startups working across energy, mobility, circularity, AI, and adaptation.
"Platforms like this are essential in bringing together policymakers, change agents, innovators, entrepreneurs, financiers, and civil society to move from ideas to implementation," said Amitabh Kant, the former CEO of NITI Aayog.
Parallel sessions addressed critical scaling bottlenecks – translating deep climate research into commercial deployment; strengthening subnational startup ecosystems; and leveraging AI to transform grid management and energy efficiency.
A curated Startup Experience Zone enabled direct engagement between founders, investors, and decision-makers.
Divya Sharma, Executive Director at Climate Group, said, "Climate Weeks are important because they bring us together. We need to meet face-to-face."
"We need to share stories of success. And we also need to create the space for people to discuss the challenges and the barriers. Asia now offers climate action, and India has emerged as its lead player," she said.
