Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has wrapped up its workforce reorganisation with around 8,000 redundancies — about 25% lower than the 12,000 reduction it had guided.
In July 2025, the IT major announced its reorganisation initiative to “become a future-ready organisation”. “As part of this journey, we will also be releasing associates from the organisation whose deployment may not be feasible. This will impact about 2% of our global workforce, primarily in the middle and the senior grades, over the course of the year,” it said. At the time TCS had a workforce of a little over 600,000.
