How is AWS Cloud Institute in partnership with TalentSprint, part of Accenture forging the next generation of cloud professionals in India?

Ever wondered, what powers the digital tools you rely on every day? From payment systems that flag fraud to apps that recommend your next favourite show? The answer is CLOUD. This invisible force makes AI possible by scaling data, powering algorithms, and delivering intelligence in real time, quietly powering the technology we take for granted. Without it? The innovation stalls.As industries double down on AI-driven products and services, cloud computing has become the foundation of this digital revolution. From banking to healthcare to entertainment, every sector is turning to the cloud to deliver faster, smarter, and more reliable solutions. Spending on public cloud services in India alone is expected to cross $17.8 billion by 2027. Globally, by the same year, more than half of enterprises are projected to use industry cloud platforms to accelerate business initiatives. This shift emphasises the urgent need for a workforce fluent in cloud.Yet, here’s the paradox: while organisations are hungry for cloud expertise, the talent pool is struggling to keep up. India alone faces a shortage of nearly 1.5 million cloud professionals against the current demand. This is not a mere hiring issue, in reality it is slowing down innovation. The world cannot only work on new digital ideas, it needs people who can build, scale, and sustain them on the cloud.Closing this gap calls for more than traditional training. It needs a future-ready approach that directly connects learning to real industry needs. That’s where AWS Cloud Institute (ACI) comes in.Built by AWS and delivered exclusively by TalentSprint (Part of Accenture), ACI is being introduced in India for the first time. It offers structured learning tracks, practical labs, and certification-ready pathways that prepare learners from day one.AWS Cloud Institute: Pioneering the future of cloud careersWhat makes AWS Cloud Institute stand out is its focus on being inclusive, approachable, practical, and career-oriented.
