The country's largest IT firm TCS aims to become the world's largest AI-led technology services company, with 130 of its top 139 clients already choosing it as their AI services partner, CEO and Managing Director K Krithivasan said. In his letter to shareholders in the company's Annual Report for 2025-26, Krithivasan noted that FY26 marked an "inflection point" for enterprise AI, as customers decisively moved from experimental pilots to scaled deployments. "To realise the opportunities offered by AI, we set out a bold aspiration to become the world's largest AI-led technology services company. Our strategy to realize this aspiration, is to be a full-stack AI services player from Infrastructure to Intelligence," Krithivasan wrote. He highlighted that 130 of TCS' top 139 clients - those generating over USD 50 million in annual revenues - have selected the company as their AI services partner. To support this massive technological shift, TCS has aggressively upskilled its workforce. .
Nida Khan, an absconding TCS employee accused in a case of alleged religious conversion and sexual harassment at the company's Nashik unit, was arrested in central Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar with police claiming that a local AIMIM corporator had provided her shelter. Following her arrest on Thursday, she was produced before the Nashik Road sessions court on Friday. The court remanded her in police custody till May 11.
