India’s largest IT company aligns workforce strategy with rising AI adoption
News Report:
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), one of India’s top IT firms, is set to reduce its workforce by over 12,000 employees in the current financial year. Sources indicate that the layoffs are closely tied to the company’s accelerated adoption of artificial intelligence and automation across several business functions.
The decision marks a significant shift in how the company is preparing for the future of technology. TCS has reportedly been integrating AI tools to improve efficiency in operations, client services, and project delivery — a move that’s reducing the need for certain roles previously managed by human employees.
While the company maintains that upskilling and internal transitions will be offered to many, the scale of the reduction highlights the growing impact of AI on the traditional IT job landscape.
Industry experts say this could be the beginning of a broader trend among large IT firms adapting to automation, reshaping their workforce while maintaining profitability.
The company is expected to provide an official statement on the restructuring soon.
