What’s Happening at TCS?

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), is planning to eliminate more than 12,000 jobs, or approximately 2% of its workforce, as part of a company-wide restructuring.

“We have been calling out new technologies, particularly AI and operating model changes,” CEO Krithi Krithivasan told Moneycontrol during a recent interview.

“The ways of working are changing…We need to be future-ready and agile.”

According to reports, the workforce reduction is expected to be complete by March 2026.


Impact on Canadian Staff

Samfiru Tumarkin LLP is working to determine if any Canadian employees at TCS are affected by the latest round of job cuts.

According to LinkedIn, the IT services firm has more than 7,700 workers in the country.
