Today, my guest is Amita Ardha, an enterprise architect who has been focusing on sustainable development solutions.

In this conversation;

Amita started her career in engineering and transitioned to IT due to her interest in the "why" behind

the coding.

She realized the importance of understanding the business world and pursued an MBA with a focus on

IT and software engineering.

She eventually became a certified Enterprise Architect but took a break to focus on personal goals and

explore sustainability.

This entrepreneurial experience involving a reuse studio helped her develop a broader understanding of

connecting business with sustainability.

Currently, Amita works as a part-time Enterprise Architect and is involved in sustainability initiatives.

Being a Woman in Tech

Amita acknowledges the challenges women face in tech but emphasizes focusing on the work and

enjoying the journey.

She advises against attributing missed opportunities solely to gender and highlights the importance of

recognizing individual journeys.

Amita encourages women to take breaks without guilt and to keep striving towards their goals.

Sustainability in Computing

Amita views sustainability as a journey from finite to infinite resourcefulness.
Focus on Achievable Goals and Resource Efficiency
Amita emphasizes using resources efficiently and highlights cloud computing as an example of improved

resource utilization.

She shares an example of identifying hygiene issues faced by sanitation workers and the potential

benefit of providing antifungal cream.

She recommends offering online sessions like storytelling or technology workshops to contribute

remotely.
