TCS to Retrain 100,000 Employees Yearly as AI Reshapes Tech

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) will retrain about 100,000 employees every year, nearly one-sixth of its global workforce, as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to alter technology and job functions. The company’s Chief Technology Officer, Harrick Vin, said that the rise of generative AI is changing how systems are developed, tested, and maintained.

Focus on Internal Learning

TCS is expanding its internal training programmes to prepare employees for the new technology environment. Staff members are being encouraged to use AI tools and take part in hackathons to gain practical experience. Vin said the transition to AI-based systems requires large-scale upskilling across all organisations.

Workforce Reduction Plans

In July, TCS announced plans to reduce its workforce by about 12,200 employees, around 2% of its total headcount, by March 2026. During the July-September quarter, the company’s workforce dropped by nearly 20,000, bringing the total to 593,314 employees. The decline is part of a restructuring exercise to streamline operations.
