Data centers make all things digital possible - processing data for search engines, streaming media, you name it.

By the year 2040, data centers are expected to consume 20 percent of the world’s power.

Abhi Sastri is the founder and CEO of FLUIX, a startup that aims to rely on A.I. to save energy use and other costs for data centers.

It is one of five startups chosen for the first Sustainable Mobility Accelerator program by The Company Lab here in Chattanooga and gener8tor.

I spoke with Abhi during last month’s CO.MOBILITY Summit here on our campus, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
