AWS Expands AI Training in India

AWS is seeing a big increase in demand for cloud and AI training in India.

Employers are looking for people who can actually use these technologies, not just those who have taken classes.

AWS has added new training programs and certifications to help people learn by doing.

They have also added tools like a Meeting Simulator and Cohort Studio to make learning more practical.

Studies show that many technical graduates in India need more practice-oriented training to be ready for jobs.

AWS is working with universities and government agencies to make sure students get the right kind of training.

Meanwhile, corporate AI investment is growing significantly, with companies planning to double their spending on AI in 2026.

CEOs are taking a leading role in AI decision-making, with many spending more than eight hours per week on AI upskilling.

Indian leaders are highly optimistic about AI's ROI, with 88% expecting positive gains, outpacing the global average of 82%.

However, India is under-investing in workforce skilling, with only 36% of organizations focusing on it, compared to the global benchmark of 44%.

The goal is to make learning a part of everyday work, not just something you do in a classroom.
