Amazon Web Services (AWS) is making a significant strategic investment of $12.7 billion in India by 2030, with the goal of positioning the country as a leading player in the global push toward artificial general intelligence (AGI). This investment is set to dramatically scale up the company’s cloud infrastructure in India, covering everything from data centers and network capabilities to AI-ready computing systems, all while leveraging the country’s thriving ecosystem of developers and startups to fuel innovation.
“You need all these investments in computer infra to power those future developments in a big way,” said Swami Sivasubramanian, vice-president of AWS Agentic AI and former White House AI competitiveness advisor.
As the global race for AI supremacy intensifies between the U.S. and China, AWS is placing a quiet but confident bet on India to emerge as a third major force in this technological shift. The company views India’s developer community as a vital driver of progress. “The Indian developer community is one of the most vibrant communities… passionate, curious, and excited to embrace new technologies,” Sivasubramanian noted during a recent visit to India.
This latest investment builds on AWS’s earlier infrastructure expansions, including its established Mumbai and Hyderabad cloud regions, and its long-standing efforts in cloud skill development, having trained over four million individuals across the country.
The economic implications are just as compelling. A prior $8.3 billion investment in Maharashtra, part of the broader $12.7 billion plan, is projected to create over 81,000 jobs annually and contribute $15 billion to India’s GDP by 2030. These figures highlight how cloud infrastructure can act as a key enabler of national economic growth and digital transformation.
Adding to this momentum is the anticipated launch of AWS Marketplace in India by late 2025. Industry analysts believe it could revolutionize how enterprises procure software solutions, much like how UPI transformed digital payments in the country.
With this ambitious commitment, AWS reinforces its belief in India’s potential not just as a market, but as a global innovation hub for the future of AI.
