Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) will reduce its workforce by 2%, impacting over 12,000 employees, to become more agile and future-ready, according to CEO K Krithivasan.

TCS Layoffs 2025: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Indian IT giant, will trim 2% of its workforce, affecting roughly over 12,000 employees at middle and senior levels over the next year, as informed by CEO K Krithivasan in an interview with MoneyControl.

The move aims to make the IT giant more agile and future-ready amid rapid disruptions in technology.

TCS will cut the employees across the globe where the company has a presence through the fiscal year 2026 (April 2025 to March 2026).

When asked the rationale behind the move, TCS CEO K Krithivasan told MoneyControl that ways of working are changing and there’s a requirement to be future-ready and agile. He added that they have been calling out new technologies like AI and operating model changes.

Krithivasan said that they have been deploying AI at scale and evaluating skills they will be requiring for the future. “We have invested a lot in associates in terms of how we can provide them with career growth and deployment opportunities,” he added.

Krithivasan argued that they found that there were roles where redeployment hasn’t been effective. “This will impact roughly 2 per cent of our global workforce, primarily at middle and senior levels,” he added in the interview with MoneyControl.
