This partnership will play a crucial role in equipping Indian IT professionals with essential cloud skills, fueling the nation’s digital transformation journey.

The Indian cloud market is projected to expand at a 23.5% CAGR through 2025, creating an urgent need for skilled cloud professionals to support businesses transitioning to cloud platforms. However, with a NASSCOM report estimating a need for 1 million cloud experts by 2025, India faces a significant skills gap. edForce’s collaboration with AWS aims to tackle this challenge by offering globally recognized AWS training and certification programs tailored for the Indian workforce.

As part of this collaboration, edForce will provide AWS-accredited training, covering roles from AWS Cloud Practitioner to AWS SysOps Administrator, all led by certified instructors. These programs emphasize practical, hands-on learning in cloud infrastructure, security, data management, AI/ML, and IoT, aligning with the skills needed to drive India’s digital economy forward.

This alliance represents a significant boost to employability within India’s tech sector, supporting the government’s vision for a Digital India. By offering AWS-certified training locally, edForce is helping Indian IT professionals gain a competitive edge in the global market, creating a skilled workforce ready to support businesses across sectors, from Infosys and Sony to Walmart and Siemens.

In a rapidly digitizing economy, edForce’s partnership with AWS empowers Indian companies to build in-house cloud expertise, fostering innovation and operational efficiency essential for long-term success.
