HPE, edForce Alliance to Bridge IT Infrastructure Skill Gap

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), the global leader in edge-to-cloud technology solutions, has partnered with edForce, a premier Workforce Upskilling Accelerator based in Bengaluru. This strategic collaboration aims to redefine how enterprises in India build capabilities in IT infrastructure, hybrid cloud, and edge computing.

As India’s digital economy accelerates, projected to contribute $1 trillion to the GDP by 2026 the need for skilled IT professionals has never been greater. The global IT infrastructure market is expected to cross $350 billion by 2028, with enterprises heavily investing in cloud, compute, and storage modernization. However, with over 70% of organizations globally citing a talent shortage in IT infrastructure management, the time to upskill is now.

edForce will offer HPE-certified training programs across key solutions, including HPE GreenLake for Compute Ops Management, HPE Synergy Administration, Nimble Storage, OneView Administration, and more. These high-impact programs are designed to empower professionals with real-world expertise in deploying, managing, and innovating with HPE’s enterprise technologies.

“We are proud to collaborate with HPE, a brand trusted by 90% of the Fortune 500, to accelerate workforce transformation in India,” said Ravi Kaklasaria, Co-founder & CEO of edForce. “This partnership allows us to bring hands-on training in next-generation IT infrastructure directly to enterprises and professionals, helping them stay competitive and cloud-ready.”

This alliance marks a pivotal step in addressing India’s skills gap in hybrid IT and infrastructure modernization. By combining HPE’s globally trusted solutions with edForce’s proven track record in enterprise training, this partnership will enable businesses to future-proof their workforce and drive sustainable innovation.
