AWS’s existing cloud infrastructure has contributed more than INR 30,900 crore ($3.7 billion) to India’s GDP, supporting over 39,500 jobs.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has appointed Sandeep Dutta as President of AWS India and South Asia. Dutta, who brings over two decades of experience from Accenture, will lead AWS’s growth and operations across India, supporting businesses, governments, and communities on their cloud journey.

The announcement was made by Jaime Valles, vice president at AWS, in a LinkedIn post. “Sandeep’s arrival marks an important milestone in our journey to empower businesses, governments, and communities throughout the subcontinent to realise their full digital potential,” said Valles.

Valles said that Dutta understands the challenges and opportunities facing organisations in India. “He’s recognised as a thought leader on disruptive technologies, and his strategic vision has been pivotal in helping customers across industries reimagine what’s possible,” he said.

“Alongside the rest of our AWS APJ team, we’ll work together to continue to help our customers harness the power of the cloud to enable cultural transformation and digital innovation, deliver value, and solve India’s hardest problems and biggest ambitions,” he added.

AWS has laid out ambitious plans to bolster India’s digital future, committing to a cumulative investment of INR 1,05,600 crore (USD $12.7 billion) by 2030. This initiative is expected to contribute INR 1,94,700 crore (USD $23.3 billion) to India’s GDP and create over 1,31,700 full-time equivalent jobs annually.

As of now, AWS’s existing cloud infrastructure has contributed more than INR 30,900 crore (USD $3.7 billion) to India’s GDP, supporting over 39,500 jobs.

In addition to its economic investments, AWS has also committed to fostering a sustainable digital future for India. The company is backing 50 renewable energy projects across the country. These initiatives will collectively provide over 1.1 gigawatts of clean energy, reducing AWS’s carbon footprint in India and supporting the country’s green energy goals.
