20 Years of TCS IPO

Twenty years ago, on August 25, 2004, I stood beside Mr. Ratan Tata, the then Chairman of the Tata Group, as we clicked a mouse to officially list Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on the National Stock Exchange. On the same day, TCS was also listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange. This momentous event culminated years of preparation and marked the beginning of a new era—not just for TCS, but for India’s entire technology sector. What a team and collaborative effort it was!

As the CEO & MD steering TCS through this transformative moment, I felt a mix of pride, excitement, and, admittedly, trepidation.
