Amazon’s AWS to help Indian SMBs adopt cloud services under new programme

New Delhi, Mar 1 (KNN) The cloud computing subsidiary of Amazon, Amazon Web Services (AWS) on Wednesday revealed the launch of its AWS Lift programme to support small and medium businesses (SMBs) adopt various cloud solutions it has to offer.

They will be getting access to all 200 cloud services available on AWS “without worrying about associated costs”.

“Their first dollar billed on AWS services will unlock USD 750 (Rs 62,000) of AWS promotional credits in their account and increased usage of AWS services is rewarded with AWS promotional credits to offset their bill, up to a maximum of USD 83,500 (Rs 69 lakh) over 12 months,” the company announced.

No lock-in periods or hidden fees will be there in the programme, AWS said.

“It would help alleviate cost pressures for SMBs amid the current economic environment that has increased financial pressure on all businesses, particularly SMBs with limited finances to weather the rising inflationary pressures,” it said.

Puneet Chandok, President of Commercial Business, AWS India & South Asia said, “We look forward to empowering more customers to adopt the cloud with AWS Lift, in collaboration with our partner network, as India realizes the vision to become a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy.” 

According to the company, AWS has invested over USD 3.7 billion in India between 2016 and 2022 while its Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) Region, launched in 2022, is estimated to support more than 48,000 full-time jobs annually through a planned investment of more than USD 4.4 billion in India by 2030.

At AWS, a region is a physical location in the world with multiple ‘Availability Zones’ consisting of one or more data centers.  (KNN Bureau)
