  An effective architecture for the Internet of Things (IoT), particularly for
an emerging nation like India with limited technology penetration at the

sustainable. Humans, data, communication and devices play key roles in the IoT
ecosystem that we perceive. In a push towards this sustainable and practical
IoT Architecture for India, we synthesize ten design paradigms to consider.
