Practitioners First.
Always.

Since 2012, Xellentro has helped organisations navigate the intersection of technology, business, and sustainability — grounded in 35+ years of real-world IT experience, not just frameworks.

Our Purpose

Why Xellentro Exists

Where Sustainability Meets Profitability.

Most sustainability consultancies understand ESG frameworks. Very few understand the IT systems that drive most of a modern organisation's carbon footprint. And almost none can bridge both with genuine technical depth and certified environmental expertise.

Xellentro exists to close that gap. We were built by IT practitioners who became sustainability leaders — not the other way around. That gives our clients something rare: advice that is both environmentally rigorous and operationally deliverable.

Our mission is to help organisations reduce costs, boost security, accelerate time-to-value, and become genuinely sustainable — through consulting, capability building, and knowledge sharing that creates lasting transformation, not just a compliance report.

Our Journey

Built Over Three Decades

From IT delivery leadership to sustainability consulting — a journey shaped by the belief that technology and environmental responsibility must go hand in hand.

1990s
IT Delivery & Consulting Foundations

Dr. Niladri Choudhuri begins a career spanning IT delivery, project management, and consulting. Deep expertise accumulated across ITSM, DevOps, Agile, and enterprise transformation across global clients.

2012
Xellentro Founded

Xellentro Consulting Services LLP is established in Bangalore with a focus on continuous transformation — helping organisations reduce costs, accelerate time-to-value, and build team capability through consulting and training.

2015
AXELOS ATO, DevOps India Summit & Sustainable IT Training

Xellentro becomes an Accredited Training Organisation for AXELOS Global Best Practice. Dr. Choudhuri organises the DevOps India Summit. Xellentro also launches its Sustainable IT Training programme — including the Digital Ecowarriors game-based workshop — establishing early leadership in sustainable digital education.

2021
Sustainability Pivot & Digital Ecowarriors

Recognising that IT operations are a major and under-addressed contributor to carbon emissions, Xellentro formally expands its practice into Sustainable IT consulting. The Digital Ecowarriors programme — a unique game-based Digital Sustainability workshop for corporates, students, startups and professionals — is launched as a flagship awareness offering.

2023
ISO Certifications, Sustainable AI Practice & Green Computing Foundation

Dr. Choudhuri earns ISO 14001 Lead Auditor and ISO 14064 Lead Verifier certifications. Xellentro launches its Sustainable AI advisory practice, addressing the growing carbon footprint of AI workloads. The Sustainable IT Foundation and Sustainable AI certification programmes go live. Green Computing Foundation is formally incorporated as a Section 8 (non-profit) company — bringing a dedicated non-profit ecosystem to complement Xellentro's consulting work.

2024
BRSR & LCA Practices Launched

As BRSR becomes mandatory for India's top listed companies, Xellentro launches a dedicated compliance and reporting practice. Life Cycle Assessment services are added, enabling clients to quantify environmental impact across the full product and system lifecycle.

Today
Five Integrated Practices. One Mission.

Xellentro now operates across five sustainability practices — Sustainable IT, Sustainable AI, LCA, BRSR & ESG Reporting, and Training & Certification — serving clients from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises across India, Singapore, and globally.

What We Stand For

Our Core Values

🌱
Authenticity Over Compliance

We help clients build genuine sustainability — not just tick regulatory boxes. Zero greenwashing incidents among our verified clients is a record we protect fiercely.

🔬
Evidence-Based Practice

Every recommendation is grounded in data, ISO standards, and measurable outcomes. We use ±5% accuracy guarantees and third-party verification readiness as our quality bar.

🤝
Practitioner Partnership

We work alongside your teams, not above them. Our goal is always to leave your organisation more capable than we found it — embedding sustainability into your DNA, not creating dependency on us.

📐
Continuous Transformation

Sustainability is not a project with an end date. We build continuous improvement systems — dashboards, rhythms, and capabilities — that keep organisations improving long after our engagement ends.

🌍
Global South Leadership

We believe the Global South — particularly India — must lead on Sustainable IT, not just follow Western frameworks. Our work is designed for the specific regulatory, economic, and infrastructure context of our region.

💡
Knowledge is a Public Good

Through the Green Computing Foundation, the Digital Ecowarriors programme, illuminem articles, podcasts, the GreenMind Hackathon, and open certifications, we give back to the community that has given us so much.

Our Ecosystem

The Green Computing Foundation

Xellentro is the founding organisation behind the Green Computing Foundation — a Section 8 (non-profit) company incorporated in 2023 and dedicated to building a global community of sustainable IT practitioners. GCF provides the ecosystem: education, awareness, peer networks, hackathons, and certification frameworks. Xellentro brings the consulting depth to turn that ecosystem into real organisational change.

Together, they represent the most comprehensive Sustainable IT offering available in the Asia-Pacific region — from the Digital Ecowarriors game-based awareness workshop through to board-level ESG strategy and enterprise transformation.
