Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched its second infrastructure region in India, the AWS Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) Region.

The new AWS Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) region is expected to support more than 48,000 full-time jobs annually by 2030 through planned investments of more than $4.4 billion (approximately Rs 36,300 crore) in India, according to a statement from the company.

Building and operating the AWS Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) Region is also expected to add about $7.6 billion (Rs 63,600 crore) to India’s gross domestic product by 2030, the company said in a statement.

Starting today, developers, startups, entrepreneurs and enterprises, as well as government, education and non-profit organisations, will have more options to run their applications and serve end users from data centres located in India, the press release said.

Hundreds of thousands of Indian customers, including Acko General Insurance, Axis Bank, Clevertap, Digital India Corporation (MeitY), Dr Reddy’s Laboratories, Telangana Government, HDFC Bank, Jupiter, Lendingkart, National Skill Development Corporation, PhysicsWallah, and Tata Elxsi innovate on AWS.

The Hyderabad region will help developers, startups, entrepreneurs and corporates, as well as government, education and non-profit organisations, to easily run their applications and serve end users through data centres located in the country.

“The new AWS Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) Region is part of our long-term commitment to India to invest in cloud infrastructure, provide training to improve the country’s digital capabilities, create local jobs, and enable a more sustainable future,” said Puneet Chandok, President, Commercial Business, AWS India and South Asia, AISPL.

Customers will be able to use advanced AWS technologies to drive innovation, including data analytics, security, machine learning, and artificial intelligence (AI).

The second AWS Region in India provides customers with more options to run workloads with greater resiliency and availability, securely store data in India, and serve end users with lower latency.
