HCLTech is a Premier Tier Services Partner with multiple AWS competencies spanning security, networking, cloud resilience, high-performance computing, managed security services, and GenAI. It has been recognized as AWS Partner of the Year in Financial Services (APJ) and a Global Finalist in GenAI Consult.
