Microsoft on Tuesday said that it aims to train and certify more than one lakh software developers in India in a single month.
The tech major intends to do this in the country via its pan-India "Future Ready Champions of Code" programme. It will also provide developers with important resources to enable learning and practicing. It will also allow developers to earn new or renew Microsoft cloud certifications
This programme by Microsoft will be supported by a host of customers and partners including TCS, Tech Mahindra, OYO, udaan, Accenture, Wipro, HCLTech, PayU, VerSe Innovation and more.
Through the programme, developers not only get the opportunity to build on their Microsoft cloud skills, but also win a pass to attend a mega developer-focused event in Bangalore in January 2023 on successfully completing or renewing their certification. The top three hackathon winners will get a chance to showcase their solutions to Microsoft leaders.
The programme also offers developers an opportunity to participate in a nationwide hackathon to innovate for India’s growth with themes focused on Industry innovation, Smart city and Green or sustainable software. Additionally, developers can participate in a blogathon contest and share their experiences around how Azure services such as Data, AI/ML, CloudNative, Cognitive, IoT, DevOps and other services are helping them build secured and scalable apps in a fast and agile manner.
In a statement, Aparna Gupta, Executive Director, Customer Success, Microsoft India, said, “The Future Ready Champions of Code presents a unique opportunity to be a stronger driver of this community. With this program we are helping developers and academia be future-ready by upskilling and empowering them with platforms and tools. We are delighted to associate with a strong set of partners who are equally motivated and committed to building a thriving developer community in India to achieve more.”
