Tata consultancy services news : Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is set to double its staff in France within the next three years, buoyed by substantial business growth in the European nation, according to a senior official’s statement on Thursday. Currently, the leading Indian IT services company employs 1,600 individuals in France across four major centers.
France has emerged as one of the fastest-growing markets in Europe for TCS, surpassing the overall growth reported for the continent, as highlighted by Sapthagiri Chapalapalli, Head of European Business at TCS, during a conversation with PTI. Having established a presence in France for over three decades, TCS believes that the groundwork has been laid for accelerated business growth in the foreseeable future.
Chapalapalli expressed confidence that the business in France is poised to “multiply” rapidly, thanks to strategic building blocks that have been put in place. TCS is actively engaged with 80 French clients across crucial sectors vital to the local economy and operates an innovation center in Paris.
With the majority of its 1,600-strong workforce based in Paris and additional centers in Toulouse and Poitiers, TCS boasts a diverse team, with up to 60% being French citizens. In response to inquiries about the hiring outlook, Chapalapalli affirmed his confidence in doubling the overall staff within the next three years to meet the growing demands of the expanding business.
Chapalapalli noted that the evolving openness of French companies in the last five years has significantly contributed to TCS’s success in the country. In response to competition in the French market, where rival Capgemini is headquartered, Chapalapalli emphasized that TCS relies on its inherent strengths and positions itself as a “solid French company.”
