Amazon Web Services logs major domestic market growth

Vogels said AWS has been a preferred choice for both big and small businesses in the country which are currently undergoing digital transformation.

“Most importantly, we have seen a significant growth in India. For the first time since launching the Mumbai region, we have seen 70 per cent increase in the accounts of Indian companies,” said a beaming Vogels after delivering a marathon keynote address at the company’s annual “ReInvent” conference here.

The company launched AWS Asia Pacific (Mumbai) Region with two availability zones in 2016 and has seen stupendous growth in adding new customers in the region.

AWS currently has 19 AWS Global Infrastructure Regions and five more are coming soon. “We were fortunate that even before the opening of Mumbai region, AWS had seen a significant growth in India,” added Vogels.

One of the interesting things in India and other similar countries, said Vogels, is that young entrepreneurs are looking to build long-term businesses.

“Digital entrepreneurs in India are looking to build really long-term sustainable businesses and are taking a different path. They want to have tight control over expenditure and how they are actually growing. AWS is an ideal choice for them,” the Amazon CTO said.

“If you do not take massive investments and want to build and grow on a slower pattern, AWS is here for you,” he added.

On the other hand, AWS is also powering several big businesses in India.
