TALENT HUNT, POWERED BY AI: THE LINEARITY BETWEEN HEADCOUNT AND REVENUES AT IT SERVICES FIRMS NO LONGER HOLDS. WITH THE AI DISRUPTION, TRIMMING OBSOLETE ROLES TO FOCUS ON NEXT-GEN TECHNOLOGY TALENT IS THE NEW NORM.
DAYS AFTER POSTING a third straight quarter of decline in revenues, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) announced in early August that it would reduce its workforce by 2% to “future-proof” the company. This means that nearly 12,000 middle- and senior-level executives will be rendered jobless by the end of FY26 at India’s largest IT services firm with a headcount of around 613,000 employees. The move, a harbinger of what lies ahead, has jolted the sector.

ON A CRISP November afternoon in 2005, Warren Harris walked into the opulent Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris to meet Ratan Tata for the first time.

THE GREAT INDIAN EV RACE
