Noah Berger
Amazon Web Services (NASDAQ:AMZN) said that it plans to invest about $12.7B in cloud infrastructure in India as it sees growing customer demand for cloud services in the country.
The investment will likely contribute ~$23.3B to the countryâs total GDP by 2030 and support ~131K jobs each year. Between 2016 to 2022, AWS (AMZN) parked ~$3.7B in the country, and the new expenditures will result in a total of $16.4B in investment by 2030.
AWS (AMZN) helps several Indian businesses build digital solutions locally that can be "scaled globally through the AWS Partner Network which provides programs, expertise, and resources to build, market, and sell customer offerings."
AWS (AMZN) added that its investment in India has a "ripple effect on the local economy in areas such as workforce development, training and skilling opportunities, community engagement, and sustainability initiatives."
The company has two data center infrastructure regions in India -- the AWS Asia Pacific (Mumbai) Region, launched in 2016, and the AWS Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) Region, launched in November 2022.
