|October 10, 2025
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) employee headcount dropped to 593,314 in the second quarter of the financial year 2026 (Q2FY26), a decline of 19,755 employees sequentially.
The tech giant had added 5,090 workers in the first quarter. In Q2FY26, the firm gave ₹1,135 crore towards severance.
This is the first time in many years that India's largest IT service provider had such a steep drop in headcount and comes after it announced laying off about 12,260 employees in July.
It was the second major layoff in the company's history, the previous one being in 2012, when around 2,500 employees were let go for underperformance.
Meanwhile, the management said that it aims to be a net job creator.
