 Welcome to JSA TV and JSA Podcasts. I'm Barb Mitchell coming to you today from Monaco where we're together at Data Cloud 2022. And joining me is Sujit Panda, CTO of BDX Data Centers. So great to see you, great to see you in person. Thank you, thank you, Bob. Thank you for having me here, it's been a pleasure. This is one of the premier events for the data center industry and it's so good to have you guys around. Thank you very much. Yeah, it's a, I think the word we've been hearing is electric, it's very, you know, there's a lot happening, you know, a record number of attendees at the event this year. So it's great to be here. And you've been very busy I think at this show, you're on two different panels. You had a great, you know, event last night that you hosted and also you were shortlisted for an award at the Data Cloud Global Congress Awards Ceremony. So a lot of recognition, a lot of great things happening for you. I know you spoke yesterday with the regional director, Marian Tan, of the Singapore Economic Development Board and I listened to that, it was fantastic. And today you're speaking on 4IR. Tell us a little bit about, why is there so much to say from a BDX perspective? I think one of the things that we have taken upon ourselves, it's one of our pillars of the vision statement that we have, is that sustainability. And what we believe is that we definitely want to spread around the world and get the industry together so that we create a sustainable future for the next generation, for the future generation for our children, right? So that's one piece of it. And the second one is this event is coming right after the pandemic, right? Which means that I see a lot of people, you know, really excited to come face to face and really excited to see the relationship going away from the virtual to the face to face. So that's one of the reasons that we've seen a record number of people coming over. In terms of, you know, our objectives from the event perspective, we want to do kind of double click on sustainability. We want to kind of look at how do we build around the ecosystem? And also the fact that we've got, we've innovated and we've built a blockchain-based tool which we want to kind of take to the industry and not so much from a commercial perspective, but it's about our commitment to get the industry to believe in sustainability. Yeah, and on that note, I think in your hand there, if you want to hold it up here, BDX is contributing to the new greener data book that they is sort of taking the industry by storm a little bit right now. It's a movement, this greener data, hashtag greener data, but we're excited it's already a best-selling book and BDX has proudly contributed to that. So, you know, on another note, you know, sustainability is a huge part of your focus, definitely, and we've seen that as you've been spreading your wings into new markets, so to speak, you know, and you've recently moved your headquarters into Singapore and a lot of things happening, but what else are there new markets you want to tell us about? I think we're doing, you know, expansion very focused, right? Singapore, obviously, the movement, you know, to Singapore as the headquarters is a testimony to the fact that we're double-clicking on Singapore as a key market for us, right, where we want to expand in a big way. We believe that Singapore is the digital hub for APAC and there is a lot that can be done to promote that, so that's one area. The second is we're expanding into key markets, Indonesia being one of them. We're very interested in that. It's a very fast-growing market, both from the cloud perspective as well as the way the digital is going, so that's something that we will get to in a very short period of time. We also believe that, you know, there are other areas or other markets within Asia. Malaysia, for example, Taiwan, maybe Vietnam. These are markets which are seeing a lot of traction. These are markets which are seeing digital coming into the cent-piece of everything that is happening in the market, so we're very interested, generally, in all of these markets. We're excited to see more come about that. I know there's- And you will shortly hear about it. Yeah, yeah. Always. I feel like, you know, we talked to you. We're honored to get to speak with you at BDX. You and your team often, and there's always something for you to share because you're always on the move and always expanding and always innovating. And so, on that note, you know, what should we, outside of these new markets, you know, what are you most excited for as you think about the year ahead? I think one of the excitement would be a wrong thing to use, but we're very focused on getting sustainability for the entire industry. Every market that we operate in, we want to partner with various stakeholders, including the government, and try to see how do we make the industry a little more greener, right? How do we help data centers as an industry, you know, to use less energy, right? And not so much by saying, you know, there has to be a cut down on the expansion, but the way energy efficiency is going to be built. So that's one area. That's something we are very passionate about, and that's something beyond the commercial pieces that we're interested in. This is very focal to the pillar of our existence. Sujit, thank you so much for joining us. It's a pleasure. It's been, as I said, a pleasure to see you in person and to be part of all the excitement that is BDX. So thanks for joining us today. And thank you viewers for tuning in to JSA TV and JSA Podcasts. Happy networking.
