These AWS Partners facilitate the seamless integration and deployment of AWS-based solutions to meet the unique needs of all customers, from startups to global enterprises. The competency is a recognition of TCS for its role in helping customers and the AWS Partner Network (APN) in progression of services, tools, and infrastructure pivotal for the implementation of GenAI technologies such as Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Sagemaker Jumpstart, Amazon Q and Amazon CodeWhisperer.

Krishna Mohan, Vice President and Deputy Head, AI.Cloud Unit, TCS, said "Achieving AWS generative competency as a launch partner is a result of TCS' industry-leading and forward-looking investments along with our deep collaboration with AWS.
