Why Become a CCICI Member?
India has a dubious position in cloud computing. On one hand we probably have the second largest talent pool in cloud computing. On the other hand we lag way behind in cloud adoption even among other Asian countries.
At CCICI, we believe that, collectively, we can play the role of a catalyst in cloud adoption in India. We also believe that our effort can make a difference and accelerate cloud adoption in India.
If you are a professional with expertise in any aspect of cloud computing and you want to help accelerate cloud adoption in India, then CCICI can provide the right platform.
