Criticism


In 2018, Tata Consultancy Services came under fire when it faced the US jury over the sacking of Americans over South Asians. The company went to trial in California over racial discrimination claims by American workers who lost their jobs at the company in the U.S. because they weren't assigned to any clients. The company, though, denied unlawful bias. The jury's final found TCS not guilty of any wrongdoings.

COVID-19 Impact


The COVID-19 pandemic pushed TCS's digital transformation into overdrive almost overnight. While making the shift to working from home was not a big challenge per se, keeping the remote workforce protective, agile and secure was. But the company's implementation of machine learning and AI, the move was hassle-free.  In India, Tata Consultancy Services was a major contributor to Tata Group’s pledge of $200M to COVID-19 relief & response efforts. Supporting healthcare needs, they set up hospitals, isolation centres, and provided testing kits to treatment facilities. It also ran dedicated CSR programs throughout India, collaborating with a vast network of national and local organisations. In a matter of months, TCS's initiatives and support aided more than 180,000 people across the country.

Future Prospects


In the near future, TCS expects to achieve growth at a faster rate than the industry average. According to lobby groups, its IT sector revenue from software exports could see a growth of about 13-15% in 2022. The company has also announced that by 2030, it aims to bring in $50 billion in revenue. To reach this goal, however, they must grow at a CAGR of roughly 8.9 percent over the next eight years.
