upGrad Enterprise has partnered with JNS Cloud Solutions to launch large-scale Artificial Intelligence and Cloud skilling programs across Africa. The collaboration aims to close the digital skills gap by combining upGrad’s global learning programs with JNS Cloud Solutions’ expertise in enterprise cloud transformation, AI deployment, and Microsoft technologies.
The initiative combines globally recognized certifications with hands-on cloud labs, enterprise use cases, and real-world deployment projects. The program supports university graduates, professionals, and public-private sector organisations through a structured “Learn – Build – Deploy – Employ” model.
Nagaraju Gurrala, CEO of JNS Cloud Solutions, highlighted the importance of building a strong AI talent ecosystem to support Africa’s growing digital economy.
Dhruv Mehra, Global Head of upGrad Enterprise, emphasized that the partnership creates clear pathways from learning and certification to enterprise technology deployment and employment opportunities.
Training programs include Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Cloud Computing, Data Engineering, Data Analytics, Cybersecurity, and Enterprise Digital Transformation.
JNS Cloud Solutions, a South Africa-based Microsoft Gold Partner and BBBEE Level 1 provider, will act as the official reseller and enterprise training partner for upGrad programs across the African market.
The initiative will initially launch in South Africa, with plans to expand across multiple African countries as demand for AI and cloud skills continues to grow.
