Hyderabad, Aug 11 (IANS) Amazon Web Services (AWS) has plans to expand their presence in Hyderabad and these include a new hyperscale data centre for AI/ML-enabled services.

Telangana delegation led by IT and Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu called on Amazon senior leadership, Kerry Person, Vice President, AWS Data Centre Planning and Delivery, at Palo Alto in California.
