Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced that it plans to open a new “infrastructure region” in the world’s second most populous country sometime in 2016.
“Tens of thousands of customers in India are using AWS from one of AWS’s eleven global infrastructure regions outside of India,” said Andy Jassy, senior vice president of AWS, in a press release. “We’re excited to share that Indian customers will be able to use the world’s leading cloud computing platform (AWS) in India in 2016 – and we believe India will be one of AWS’s largest regions over the long term.”
AWS already boasts a number of customers in India, including Capillary Technologies, HackerEarth, Getit, Druva, Vserv, Hungama, Tata Motors, Jubilant Food Works, and STAR India says Geek Wire.
“We see huge potential in the Indian economy and for the growth of e-commerce in India,” Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO, of Amazon said.
