Nadella spoke at the Microsoft Future Ready Leadership Summit in Mumbai on Tuesday, his first day in India.
He said at the Summit that cloud-based services, which are by nature energy-efficient, are a “game changer” and that usage of such technologies will increase in the future.
“Cloud-native applications (which is in the native-to-intermediate stage) have yet not begun…by 2025 you are going to have most of the application anybody builds really at that efficient frontier of cloud net,” Nadella said.
“When you move to the cloud, for example, it’s 70-80 per cent more energy efficient. If you want to be more energy efficient on any workload, the first thing to do is to move to the cloud,” he added.
