Tata Communications overview, outlook

In the past one week, Tata Communications' share price has rallied 20 per cent after the company announced the launch of its Voice AI platform powered by Agentic AI — an industry first speech-to-speech customer engagement solution offering instant decision making, multilingual fluency, and sub-500 milliseconds latency performance. 

 

This sets a new benchmark for customer engagement technology by enabling interactions that are personalised, context-aware, and seamlessly integrated across channels —redefining how financial institutions connect with their customers, the company said in press release.

 

Meanwhile, as GenAI moves from pilot to production, segments like data centre systems, devices, and software are projected to see double-digit growth in 2025, largely due to GenAI hardware upgrade.

 

The growing demand for digital services opens exciting opportunities for Tata Communications. With strong positions in Network, Cloud & Security, Interaction, and IoT, the management believes that the company is well-placed to lead in India and compete globally.

By 2026, more than 50 per cent of enterprise software spend in application software will be influenced by GenAI.  Investment will intensify in platforms enabling scalable AI deployments — particularly around agentic AI with autonomous gen AI agents that can complete complex tasks with minimal human input.  Communication services will gain strategic importance, especially fixed data services, which are projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.2 per cent in five years through 2028. High-growth industries include communications, media and services, power and utilities, and healthcare, Tata Communications said in its FY25 annual report.

 

The shift to hybrid cloud, rising compliance needs, and the growth of AI, IoT, and edge technologies are accelerating demand for advanced cloud networking and digital transformation solutions. Tata Communications’ product and services portfolio delivers curated and effective solutions that address these client needs. 

 

On the technology front, Tata Communications is advancing next-generation technologies, including its Cloud fabric, AI, and IoT. For example, the newly launched Tata Communications Vayu seamlessly integrates Infrastructure as a Service ('IaaS'), Platform as a Service ('PaaS'), AI Platform, Security, Cloud Connectivity, and professional services into a single, intelligent ecosystem.
