Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest IT services firm, plans to cut nearly 2% of its global workforce—about 12,000 jobs—by FY2026. The decision stems from challenges like AI-led role disruption, skill mismatches, and economic uncertainty. Most affected employees will be in middle and senior-level roles. TCS aims to reskill some staff while offering severance, insurance extensions, and placement support to those exiting. The move follows backlash over TCS’s strict 35-day bench policy, which has caused job insecurity among unassigned employees. TCS says the restructuring is vital to building an agile, future-ready organization. (PC: The Economic Times)
