Is Cloud Technology Green in Terms of Just Profitability or is Environment also a Factor?
By Rahul Yadav, Chief Revenue Officer, RAH Infotech
Are profitability and environment mutually exclusive set-up? In the current, economic and social circumstances, organizations need to weigh in on both factors and ensure that one does not damage the chances of another. Cloud is the go-to technology for organizations today. We can say that profit and sustainability are both important when it comes to cloud technology. Cloud technology companies need to generate profits to sustain their businesses and continue to invest in innovation, while also being mindful of their environmental impact and working towards sustainability. Cloud technology offers various benefits such as scalability, flexibility, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, which can help businesses reduce their operational costs and increase their productivity.
Cloud technology helps organizations with the profit ratio
Profit is important for cloud technology companies because they need to invest in research and development, maintain their infrastructure, and compensate their employees. Without generating profits, they will not be able to sustain their businesses and continue to provide their services to customers. However, sustainability is also important for cloud technology companies because their data centers consume a significant amount of energy and have a significant environmental impact. By adopting sustainable practices, such as using renewable energy sources and improving energy efficiency, cloud technology companies can reduce their environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future. By focusing on both profit and sustainability, cloud technology companies can create long-term value for their customers, employees, shareholders, and the environment.
Cloud service providers offer various pricing models, such as pay-per-use or subscription-based, which can help businesses choose the most cost-effective option based on their needs. Cloud providers also offer various services such as storage, computing power, and software-as-a-service (SaaS), which can help businesses reduce their IT infrastructure costs. Moreover, cloud technology can help businesses reduce their maintenance costs and improve their security and compliance. With the cloud, businesses can also access new technologies and innovations that they may not be able to afford otherwise. Therefore, cloud technology can be a profitable investment for businesses looking to optimize their IT infrastructure, reduce costs, and improve their operations.
Cloud technology can be eco-friendly if it is used and managed in a responsible manner
- Energy efficiency: Cloud providers can reduce energy consumption by using energy-efficient hardware and optimizing their data centers. Some providers are also exploring the use of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power.
- Virtualization: Cloud technology enables the virtualization of servers, which can lead to higher utilization rates and fewer physical servers. This can reduce the overall energy consumption and carbon footprint of data centers.
Resource sharing: Cloud providers can share resources among multiple users, which can reduce the need for individual organizations to purchase and maintain their own hardware. This can lead to a reduction in the environmental impact associated with the production, use, and disposal of hardware. - Recycling and disposal: Cloud providers can ensure that their hardware is properly disposed of and recycled when it reaches the end of its useful life.
- Green certifications: Some cloud providers have obtained green certifications, such as the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, which demonstrate their commitment to environmental sustainability.
The challenge however is to understand both the positive and negative impacts on the environment before completely depending on the cloud. Overall, the impact of cloud technology on the environment depends on the specific practices and policies of individual cloud providers. By adopting sustainable practices and using renewable energy sources, cloud providers can minimize their environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Positive impacts:
- Energy efficiency: Cloud providers can achieve economies of scale in energy use by consolidating workloads and using more efficient equipment, resulting in lower energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional data centers.
- Reduced carbon footprint: Cloud providers can use renewable energy sources to power their data centers, reducing their carbon footprint and contributing to the transition to a low-carbon economy.
- Reduced e-waste: By using virtualization and multi-tenancy, cloud providers can reduce the number of physical servers needed to run applications, resulting in less electronic waste.
Negative impacts:
- Increased energy consumption: The demand for cloud services is growing rapidly, which can lead to increased energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions if renewable energy sources are not used to power the data centers.
- Water usage: Data centers require significant amounts of water for cooling purposes, which can be a concern in areas experiencing water stress.
- Supply chain impacts: The manufacturing and disposal of the hardware used in cloud technology can have significant environmental impacts, including resource depletion, pollution, and e-waste.
Despite the possible negative impact of the irrational use of cloud technology, the applications of the cloud including the cost and environmental factors say that for organizations and the world to survive both factors are a necessity.

40-Year-Old Woman Receives New Lease On Life After Hip Replacement Surgery
Delhi: A team headed by Dr Pankaj Walecha, Specialist Hip And Knee Surgeon, Apollo Spectra, Delhi successfully performed a hip replacement surgery on a 40-year-old teacher from Uttar Pradesh battling TB arthritis for the last 20 years. The patient, who experienced unbearable hip pain, was unable to maintain balance or take even 10 steps can walk without any difficulty now. She has resumed her daily routine with ease and leads a normal life after surgery.
Neelu, Mishra, a teacher by profession from Jaunpur, UP. She had to struggle through her youth owing to tuberculosis arthritis at around 20 years ago. She had hip pain, was limping, and couldn’t walk properly. She took opinions of many doctors in UP but she was advised to take pain medications & manage her life like that. She kept on looking for solutions so that she can take care of her family & especially her two daughters. In her pursuit to live a pain free life, she came across Dr Pankaj Walecha at Apollo Spectra Hospital, New Delhi where after a successful hip surgery, she could walk freely again.
Dr Pankaj Walecha, Specialist Hip, And Knee Surgeon, Apollo Spectra, Delhi said, “On arrival, She could not walk even few steps. The patient had immense hip pain, used a walker while walking, and has great difficulty in getting up from bed or a chair. She couldn’t even lift her right leg without supporting it with her hand. There was pain as she tried to turn on her left side, was unable to get a good night sleep also. Her hip joint was jammed, and no rotational movement hence the pain on moving. With a clear history of tuberculosis (TB) of hip joint in her young age, & X-rays showing a damaged hip joint, she was a clear case of Tubercular hip arthritis?. Tuberculosis (TB) is seen in a large number of patients in India. People generally think that TB affects only the lungs but It has the potential to impact any joint of our body & it can cause severe damage to the joint leading to secondary arthritis. According to a study published in 2014, Tubercular arthritis accounts for approximately 1-3% of all cases of tuberculosis & it primarily involves large weight bearing joints of the body like Hips, knees & ankles. Dr Walecha, counselled the whole family before the surgery about the outcome of the surgery & the need of starting Anti tubercular treatment (ATT) again, at least for a period of 3 months after the surgery. Its very important to prevent the reactivation go the disease. After a complete check up, finally the day arrived & Neelu was taken up for surgery. She was successfully operated on 4th April, 2022 at Apollo Spectra Hospital, Karol Bagh, New Delhi.”*
Dr Pankaj Walecha added, “In Total Hip replacement (THR) surgery, damaged ball & socket of the hip joint are replaced with artificial ball & socket (fig ). Although hip replacement surgery can be cemented (special kind of bone cement is used to fix the parts in the body) or Uncemented (uncemented implants have a special kind fo surface finish so they snugly fit into the bone & within few weeks get integrated to the bone). Uncemented THR is performed more commonly. First of all the damaged hip joint is approached using smallest incision possible for that patient (Minimally Invasive Surgery or MIS). Minimum muscles are damaged in this process & this muscle preserving approach helps the patients in recovering faster. Then the damaged femoral head is removed to expose the acetabulum. THR has four components- Acetabula cup or socket, which is made up of titanium & is fixed to the acetabula after clearing the dead bone. This socket can be fixed to the bone with special screws if needed. Second part is Highly Cross Linked Polyethylene Liner, which is a special type of plastic which is fitted on to this socket. After this attention is shifted to the thigh bone or femur. Uncemented Femoral stem preparation is done & a well-fitting stem is implanted. Fourth part is the Ceramic ball head, which is mounted on the femoral stem. This completes the implantation part. When this surgery is performed using muscle preserving techniques or MIS then most of the patients do not complain of much pain after the surgery. In this surgery, its ensured that leg length of the both sides is equal after the surgery.
In case of Neelu also, both her legs were equal after the surgery & she was delighted to see that after the surgery. The uncemented cup got very good hold in the bone & did not require any screws for fixation, Uncemented stem was implanted in good position, using ceramic head on highly cross linked polyethylene liner. Surgery lasted for almost one hour & she was, Ade to stand & walk with in 24 hours of surgery. She could do stair climbing after 36 hours of surgery & was happily discharged from the hospital after 72 hours of operation. At 4 weeks after surgery she could walk long distances & at 6 weeks she could do light jogging also. Imagine how her life changed in matter of 4-6 weeks, from severe pain even in getting up from bed to jogging. Isn’t it amazing !!
Here is our message to patients who have been living with arthritis due to any reason- A pain free active life is possible for all of you irrespective of your age or disease. Even if you are young, after hip replacement surgery with the modern implants & modern surgical techniques patients can have normal life without any major lifestyle restrictions. These modern implants are designed to last for 20-25 years after the surgery & after that a revision hip replacement surgery can be performed with good success rates.
“I had a sharp pain in my hips and couldn’t even take 10 steps. As I grew, my health deteriorated. There was a time I felt hopeless as I couldn’t walk, sit or stand on my own. I required a walker and my family’s support. I am a teacher and couldn’t even climb the stairs of the school. My life had become miserable. I had never heard about TB arthritis before. I didn’t have any idea regarding how to go about it. But, I thank Dr Pankaj Walecha & the team of doctors for their prompt treatment. It is because of them that I could walk again. The hip pain has vanished after the surgery and I can walk, run, drive, and sit without any difficulty. I am happy as I can live an independent life now,” concluded the patient Neelu, Mishra.

Reflecting on the motivation behind his work, Preeyaj said, “I was deeply moved by the challenges faced by individuals with hearing and speech impairments while interacting with the public. Witnessing the inclusive nature of society inspired me to explore the potential of technology in facilitating smooth communication. I began working on this project during the lockdown, driven by the belief that technology can bring about positive change.”
In addition to his remarkable achievements in sign language translation, Preeyaj had previously developed a computer program to assist elderly individuals in booking vaccination slots during the COVID-19 pandemic. His commitment to leveraging technology for the betterment of society is evident in his tireless efforts to address critical societal needs through innovative solutions.
Preeyaj’s journey toward making a meaningful impact has been greatly supported by MPSTME Mumbai and its dedicated faculty. The institution’s nurturing environment and encouragement have played a vital role in his success, providing an atmosphere where students can thrive and contribute to society. NMIMS MPSTME is proud to provide a platform that enables students like Preeyaj to achieve significant accomplishments. “MPSTME and its faculty have always helped me and motivated me to achieve greater heights and also do something which can be useful for a larger audience. I am glad to be a part of such an institution,” he says proudly.
Looking ahead, Preeyaj envisions a future where technology continues to drive positive social change. With a motto centred around doing good for society, Preeyaj intends to explore new technologies and identify innovative use cases that address pressing societal needs. His passion for technology and dedication to academic excellence demonstrate his commitment to making a lasting impact.
As Preeyaj’s story exemplifies the transformative power of technology and innovation, MPSTME remains committed to nurturing the talents of its students and providing them with the necessary tools and support to create a better world.

The Saudi Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources issues the industrial license to Ceer for electric vehicle manufacturing
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 23rd June 21, 2023: The Saudi Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources has granted an industrial license to Ceer, the first Saudi electric vehicle brand. An industrial license is a key step for Ceer to build its manufacturing facility over one million m2 in King Abdullah Economic City’s Industrial Valley in Saudi Arabia.
A joint venture between the Public Investment Fund (PIF) and Foxconn, Ceer was launched last November under the patronage of His Royal Highness, Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister.
Jarrah bin Mohammed Al-Jarrah, the spokesperson for the Saudi Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, emphasized the strategic significance of the automotive industry within the context of the Kingdom’s national industrial strategy. With the global light vehicles market expected to double in the next decade, the automotive sector presents a compelling regional opportunity.
Al-Jarrah further highlighted that the automotive manufacturing industry will serve as a catalyst for other priority sectors such as minerals and chemicals. The development aligns with the Kingdom’s diversification goals and its ability to export to neighboring markets, contributing to the growth of the non-oil economy.
In addition to direct economic benefits, the development of a national automotive sector will also indirectly benefit the economy and the local industry in several ways, through knowledge transfer, industry localization, the development of local content, and the creation of high-quality job opportunities for Saudi citizens.
Ceer is the first Saudi automotive brand to produce electric vehicles in Saudi Arabia, and will design, manufacture and sell a range of vehicles for consumers in Saudi Arabia and the MENA region, including sedans and sports utility vehicles. Ceer’s vehicles will be manufactured in King Abdullah Economic City and will be tested to the highest global automotive quality control and safety standards. The brand’s electric vehicles are scheduled to be available in 2025. Ceer’s factory will be state-of-the-art, featuring the latest technologies to ensure manufacturing efficiency whilst minimizing energy and water usage.
