Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced significant investments in artificial intelligence as part of its strategy to become the world’s largest AI-led technology services company. The announcement follows the company’s second-quarter results, which showed a rise in revenue but a decline in net profit due to global challenges.
TCS revealed plans to create a new business entity focused on developing world-class AI infrastructure, including a 1 GW AI data centre in India. “We are on a journey to become the world’s largest AI-led technology services company,” said K Krithivasan, CEO and Managing Director of TCS. “Our journey is anchored in bold transformation across talent, infrastructure, ecosystem partnerships and customer value.”
Reinforcing this commitment, Krithivasan said the company’s AI investments “demonstrate our commitment to this transformation.” The move aligns with TCS’s efforts to expand its AI capabilities through partnerships and new business verticals that deliver enterprise-ready AI solutions across industries.
In a key development, TCS has acquired 100 percent of US-based ListEngage for 72.80 million dollars in cash. The acquisition aims to strengthen its Agentic AI expertise and Salesforce-based enterprise offerings. The deal adds over 100 skilled professionals and 400 Salesforce certifications to TCS’s US operations. “This is more than an acquisition—it’s a growth platform,” said Altaf Shaikh, CEO of ListEngage. He added that the collaboration will redefine how enterprises unlock the full value of Salesforce while exploring AI-driven opportunities.
TCS has also been investing heavily in upskilling its workforce. More than half of its 600,000-plus employees have been trained in AI, machine learning, and generative AI. As the company continues to expand its AI infrastructure and enhance its talent capabilities, it is positioning itself as a global leader in enterprise AI innovation.
