The pandemic accelerated the digital transformation by several years across organisations. It is visible in their product enhancement, consumer interactions, internal operations, and even in their HR policies. Technology is now a key ingredient to staying ahead and competitive in the current business and economic scenario.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) believes in building value through training people in digital skills. Over two million individuals have been trained by them to bridge the cloud skills gap. "I'm proud that AWS has provided cloud skills training to over two million people in India, and we acknowledge that much more work must be done as we continue to build a better digital future in India," says Phil Davis, Managing Director, Asia Pacific and Japan Commercial Sales, AWS.
In India, they have the 'AWS re/Start', a free skill-development programme aimed at preparing unemployed, underemployed, and transitioning individuals for careers in cloud computing. The programme is part of AWS's global commitment to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to provide free cloud computing skills training to 29 million people.
In addition to this, AWS collaborates with partners, and organisations of all sizes in India to build the cloud skills they need to accelerate innovation and achieve their business goals.
As per a Gartner report, the global public cloud market grew 41.4 per cent to a total of $90.9 billion in 2021, up from $64.3 billion in 2020. And AWS maintained the lead in revenue growth and market share.
We caught up with Phil Davis to understand the India game plan. Over a cup of tea, the jet-setting MD spoke about what helps AWS stand out and much more.
