Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran has called on Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) employees to focus on execution and embed artificial intelligence into daily operations as adoption of the technology continues to expand across industries.
N Chandrasekaran addressed around 700 senior TCS employees at the company’s internal global leadership and strategy conference, Blitz, held in Dubai.
Speaking after the presentation of recent financial numbers, he described the performance as not strong and encouraged teams to reflect honestly without defensiveness.
He highlighted that performance gaps usually arise from a mix of market conditions, customer specific challenges and internal execution issues, urging teams to assess areas where delivery could have been improved.
During the interaction, Chandrasekaran stressed the importance of reflection in a year where the company did not meet expectations. He noted that some factors were market driven, some affected customers, while others were linked to execution shortcomings within the organisation.
He also encouraged employees to maintain confidence and energy, referring to the company’s experience of navigating multiple downturns in the past.

Chandrasekaran identified artificial intelligence as a significant opportunity and asked employees to embed AI into their daily work. He emphasised the need to deliver tangible outcomes for customers, including improved experiences, faster delivery and increased agility.
The conference also saw participation from younger employees, with a senior executive noting that 26 year old coders presented at Blitz for the first time.
TCS chief executive officer and managing director K Krithivasan acknowledged that the company underperformed peers during the period. He reiterated that TCS currently has over 5,000 AI engagements across industries.
The company has made strategic changes, including the appointment of Aarthi Subramanian as chief operating officer and Mangesh Sathe as chief strategy officer.
TCS has also entered the data centre segment through its HyperVault subsidiary and announced the acquisition of Coastal Cloud in a $700 million transaction.
As of February 10, 2026, at 9:26 AM, Tata Consultancy Services share price on NSE was trading at ₹2,965.00 up by 0.57% from the previous closing price.
The discussions at Blitz reflected TCS leadership’s focus on execution discipline, operational alignment and practical use of artificial intelligence. Recent organisational changes and business moves underline the company’s efforts to adapt to ongoing technology shifts.
