‘Largest AI-Ready Workforce Globally…’: How Krithivasan-led TCS is Helping its Employees to be Future-Ready
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), the country’s largest IT services company, has announced the successful training of 3.5 lakh employees in generative AI skills. This milestone, revealed on Friday, marks a significant leap forward for TCS, reinforcing its position as a pioneer in preparing its workforce for the demands of tomorrow.
Back in January, TCS made waves by announcing that 1.5 lakh of its employees had been equipped with the necessary skill sets for what is widely regarded as the most promising frontier for IT services in the coming years. Now, with the number soaring to over half of its vast employee base, TCS stands poised to create one of the largest AI-ready workforces globally.
In an official statement, TCS underscored its strategic vision, stating, “With over 350,000 employees trained on foundational skills in GenAI, TCS is well-poised to build one of the largest AI-ready workforces in the world.” This commitment to nurturing talent reflects TCS’s unwavering dedication to innovation and adaptability in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
This latest achievement builds upon TCS’s trailblazing initiatives in the realm of artificial intelligence. In 2023, the company made history by establishing the first dedicated business unit for AI and cloud, catering to the escalating demand for cloud and AI integration among its clientele. Leveraging the power of GenAI, TCS has embarked on transformative projects aimed at enhancing customer experiences across various sectors.
Notably, TCS has harnessed GenAI capabilities to revolutionize customer interactions within the airline industry. By implementing natural conversational interfaces, TCS enables seamless communication with passengers during flight disruptions, offering alternative routing solutions and mitigating inconveniences. Moreover, TCS has utilized GenAI to streamline contract review processes, facilitating the identification and validation of key clauses with unparalleled efficiency.
In recognition of its pioneering efforts, TCS has garnered acclaim from industry giants. Amazon Web Services (AWS) recently bestowed upon TCS the prestigious Generative AI competency partner status. Krishna Mohan, Deputy Head of TCS’s AI.Cloud unit, expressed pride in this achievement, stating, “Achieving AWS generative competency as a launch partner is a result of TCS’ industry-leading and forward-looking investments along with our deep collaboration with AWS.”
With TCS at the forefront of innovation and transformation, the company’s relentless pursuit of excellence continues to set new benchmarks in the IT industry. As TCS embarks on its journey towards building an AI-ready workforce of unparalleled scale, its commitment to shaping the future remains unwavering, reaffirming its status as a global leader in technology and innovation.
