AWS Empaneled by Indian Public Sector Banks to Boost Cloud Adoption

Amazon Web Services (AWS) India has been selected by the Public Sector Bank Alliance (PSBA) to provide cloud computing services to 12 public sector banks. Leveraging AWS's Community Cloud Services, these banks can streamline their digital operations without creating separate procurement processes. AWS is also supporting other government initiatives like the National Health Authority and Government e-Marketplace to enhance India's digital infrastructure.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) India has been selected by the Public Sector Bank Alliance (PSBA) to offer cloud computing services to the country's public sector lenders.

PSBA, an umbrella organization formed by 12 public sector banks, acts as a nodal body delivering technology-enabled banking services. Member banks include SBI, Union Bank, PNB, and others. AWS's immediate adoption through PSBA's Community Cloud Services eliminates the need for separate procurement processes for cloud computing requirements.

AWS will provide services through its managed service providers (MSPs) Orient Technologies and Hitachi Systems. At its Empower India event, Amazon CTO Werner Vogels emphasized the need for scalable and efficient digital systems in India. The National Health Authority and Government e-Marketplace are also utilizing AWS solutions to scale digital operations and improve public services.
