TCS banned 6 employees, 6 associate firms: Chandrasekaran on jobs scam

TCS has taken action against six employees after finding them guilty of accepting favours from certain staffing firms in the appointment of contractual workers, Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran said on Thursday. The largest IT services exporter is investigating the role of three more of its employees, Chandrasekaran said while speaking at the TCS annual general meeting here. "We have banned six employees and also six companies," he said in response to questions from shareholders. He said the company received two separate whistleblower complaints -- one pertaining to appointment of business associates or contractual workers in the US, and one in India, in late February and March, after which it investigated the allegations. Chandrasekaran said he cannot quantify the favours these employees got but the banned employees behaved in such a way that they were favouring certain firms. "The company will look at the whole BA (Business Associate) supplier management process and see what

Rate hikes revealed hidden stresses of banking sector: Chandrasekaran

The rise in interest rates has revealed hidden stresses in parts of the banking sector and this could impact global growth in the coming year, according to Tata Group and Tata Motors Chairman N Chandrasekaran. In his address to shareholders of Tata Motors in the annual report for 2022-23, he said, "the current year witnessed a surge in inflation requiring coordinated action by most central banks to increase interest rates to control inflationary expectations." Chandrasekaran further wrote, "While inflation is starting to moderate, the rise in interest rates has also revealed hidden stresses in parts of the banking sector that enjoyed a long run of low-interest rates and hence not prepared for the rate rise. This could impact global growth in the coming year." Recollecting his last year's message, he said, "recent history has been relentless with the global pandemic, military conflict, growing inequality, supply chain shortages and more." These challenges are resulting in structural

Air India fell short, should have been swifter: Tata boss on pee-gate

Tata Group Chairman N Chandrasekaran admitted on Sunday that Air India's response to the incident of a drunk passenger allegedly urinating on a woman on one of its international flights last year should have been "much swifter". In a statement, which came days after the aviation regulator DGCA pulled up the Tata Group-owned full service carrier, Chandrasekaran also said that "we fell short of addressing this situation the way we should have." In a shocking incident, an inebriated man allegedly urinated on a female co-passenger, a senior citizen in her seventies, in the business class of Air India New York-New Delhi flight on November 26 last year. The accused Shankar Mishra was arrested by the Delhi Police from Bengaluru on Saturday. "The incident on Air India flight AI102 on November 26, 2022, has been a matter of personal anguish to me and my colleagues at Air India. Air India's response should have been much swifter.

Reform will propel fundamentals of India's performance: N Chandrasekaran

Reform will be a key pillar that will propel fundamentals of India's performance in the coming decades, which have a major growth opportunity for the country, Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran said on Friday. While the country can look forward to becoming a USD 25-30 trillion economy in its 100th year of Independence, it is also crucial to spread the gains of the future to everyone, including informal workers, agricultural labourers and women, he said while addressing the annual convention of industry body FICCI. Chandrasekaran noted that the government has taken several reforms before and after the pandemic which has set a strong foundation for a renewed vision for India in 2047. "Looking for the next few decades, India presents a major growth opportunity. At the same time, it is important to remember the scope of reforms India has undertaken in the last few years," he said. Pre-pandemic, the government introduced GST, Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), inflation targeting ..

Tata Group has no plans to enter 5G consumer space, says N Chandrasekaran

Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran on Tuesday said the conglomerate does not have any plans to have a 5G offering for consumers. He said the group, which exited its consumer-facing telecom service due to losses a few years ago, has concentrated its efforts on building modern technology infrastructure for 4G and 5G and is also investing in 6G. "On the 5G, we don't have plans for getting into consumer business. We have exited that business," Chandrasekaran said at the 'Lokmat Maharashtrian of Year 2022' award ceremony here. He said the technology being built by the group companies is fully indigenous, and will be tested first for being eventually implemented on a large scale. There are already enquiries for its offerings, he added. Asked about the group's plans to consolidate four airlines in its portfolio, Chandrasekaran said it wants to create a single airline with two platforms -- a full-service carrier and a low cost carrier (LCC).
