Hi Chanchal,
There are different approaches to reduce the amount of API calls consumed by a given API client, which include (but are not limited to) the following:
- caching on the client side,
- sending cumulative changes, rather than incremental changes( for example using Composite Resources in REST API)
- resort to the Bulk API to mass upload/update records, instead of using the REST API to upload/update the same records.
Thanks.

Hi Chanchal,
For reducing the number of API calls you can do following things:
- Optimize your code to eliminate any unnecessary API calls
- Cache frequently used data
- Cache data that is not changed often
- Use webhooks in order to track changes
- Consider batching multiple requests into a single request
