TKC Perspective: Driving Energy Efficiency & Sustainability at Scale

A Strategic Webinar for India’s Multi-Site Leaders

February 4, 2026 | 3:00 PM IST | 60-Minute Strategic Session

The TKC Perspective: Repeatable Approaches, Not Theory

TKC Perspective is our platform for convening practitioners to share real-world approaches rather than jargon or theory. This session focuses on a challenge every multi-site leader recognizes: how small, unnoticed inefficiencies across hundreds of locations quietly add up to major cost leakage, inconsistent performance, and avoidable complaints.

We will explore how teams can “focus smarter” by creating a disciplined operating rhythm, using timely visibility and prioritized actions to improve energy efficiency and deliver sustainability outcomes without sacrificing occupant comfort.

What’s Impacting Your Margins?

For multi-site enterprises, rising energy expenditures are putting immense pressure on operating margins. This complexity is compounded by a lack of operational visibility and control across geographically dispersed stores.

Leaders today are battling:

  • Invisible Leakage: Small inefficiencies (like lighting left on or HVAC setpoint overrides) that lead to major cost escalations.
  • Limited Visibility: A lack of real-time store-level performance data.
  • Reactive Maintenance: High dependence on manual interventions and unplanned equipment downtime.
  • Compliance Pressures: The need to meet evolving ESG commitments while maintaining customer experience.

The 2026 Roadmap: What You Will Learn

In this session, we decode the blueprint India’s most efficient enterprises follow to manage their portfolios like a single store.

  • Real-time Visibility: How to move from “flying blind” to using autonomous controls that improve store performance.
  • Lower Opex: Proven strategies for higher energy efficiency and increased equipment uptime.
  • Sustainability at Scale: Reducing carbon footprints while improving occupant comfort and policy compliance.
