Overview
Tata Consultancy Services, part of the Tata group, was established in 1968 and describes its work as spanning the full technology stack “from infrastructure to intelligence”.[4] The Tata group reports that TCS operates 194 service delivery centres and has staff in 56 countries.[4] For the fiscal year ended 31 March 2026 TCS reported revenue of ₹2,67,021 crore; Business Today reported a closing headcount of 5,84,519.[3] The company reports in Indian rupees, and its fiscal 2026 revenue declined slightly in U.S.-dollar terms even as rupee revenue grew, a result of currency movements. TCS does not report a separate managed services revenue line, so the share of revenue from run-and-operate contracts cannot be isolated from its application development, consulting and business process work.
