Please join us in congratulating our 2022 AWS Partners of the year from India! Each year, we honor members of the AWS Partner Network (APN) who are leaders in the channel and play key roles in helping customers drive innovation and build solutions on AWS. Announced throughout the year, AWS Partner Awards recognize a wide range of born-in-the-cloud and traditional services and software partners whose business models have embraced specialization and collaboration.

AWS Partners can leverage the 2022 Gartner Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Services evaluation report as an essential primer to better understand the evolving cloud services landscape, and how they can enhance the value of their unique offerings built on AWS. Partners should review this report to fully understand how they can drive greater profitability by taking advantage of AWS’s global reach, scalability, and expertise to win deals and identify new business opportunities.

We are excited to highlight 135 AWS Partners that received new designations in October for our global AWS Competency, AWS Managed Service Provider (MSP), AWS Service Delivery, and AWS Service Ready programs. These designations span workload, solution, and industry, and help AWS customers identify top AWS Partners that can deliver on core business objectives. AWS Partners are focused on your success, helping customers take full advantage of the business benefits AWS has to offer.
