India will need 20 lakh Cloud professionals by 2025: Nasscom.
India is likely to see demand for Cloud professionals to touch 20 lakh by 2025, as the need for businesses to migrate critical workloads to Cloud and modernise legacy on-premise IT infrastructure, especially post the pandemic, has been accelerating growth in cloud adoption in the country, a Nasscom study showed on Monday.
By 2025, India would have an estimated 14 to 15 lakh cloud professionals.
