Microsoft’s focus on driving digital transformation creates opportunities for its partners 

"For decades, Microsoft’s partner ecosystem has been at the centre of how we bring technologies and business transformation to customers in markets around the world. Microsoft and our partners share a common goal – to help our customers scale and innovate to deliver new solutions that enable differentiation, drive business success and digital transformation. Microsoft Cloud is the foundation for sustained growth of partners as they build, co-sell and go-to-market with Microsoft. In India, we have a strong ecosystem of over 17,000 partners, inclusive of all partner business types - ISV, an IoT solution provider, systems integrator, advisory partner, OEM or reseller. Microsoft ensures that our programs and offers are designed to help partners quickly bring their innovative solutions to market, scale, grow their business and connect with more customers to solve unique needs. We are committed to investing in tools and services that partners require to expand their reach, help customers unlock growth potential, and grow their businesses for customers across organizations and industries. Through a variety of global programs, local offers to support market needs, and opportunities for reinvestment, Microsoft empowers partners to build and grow their business opportunities and profitability. As part of our investment in the cloud as a strategic lever for innovation and growth, and as a reflection of our continued commitment to partners, this month (October 2022), we changed the name of our partner program from “Microsoft Partner Network” to the ‘Microsoft Cloud Partner Program’.”
