This strategic move reflects the commitment of both Wipro and AWS to foster the success of their shared business as well as their passion to continually innovate for enterprises.

Additionally, customers can leverage the Wipro AWS Launch Pad to facilitate their business transformation programs.
“By establishing the Wipro AWS Business Group, we are taking an important step forward in the long-standing relationship between the two companies," said Matt Garman, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Amazon Web Services, Inc.
