TCS set to create 25,000+ new jobs in Bengaluru with latest expansion plan
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest IT services provider, is set to create over 25,000 new jobs in Bengaluru with its latest expansion plan. The company recently acquired a ₹1,625-crore land parcel in Whitefield, one of Bengaluru’s prominent IT hubs, to develop a massive new facility. This move aligns with TCS’s long-term vision to enhance its operational capacity and reinforce its presence in the region.
25,000-Seat Capacity in Whitefield
TCS currently employs approximately 70,000 professionals across various locations in Bengaluru. The new campus, part of a strategic “lease-and-build” approach, will increase this capacity significantly, supporting over 25,000 new seats. Chief Financial Officer Samir Seksaria emphasized that this project highlights TCS’s commitment to growth, workforce expansion, and local economic development.
The Whitefield campus will cater to the growing demand for IT services and is designed to align with the company’s other infrastructure projects across India. A similar facility was recently inaugurated in Coimbatore, underscoring TCS’s strategy to invest in state-of-the-art centers nationwide.
A Boost to Bengaluru’s Economy
The development is expected to provide a substantial boost to Bengaluru’s economy, attracting talent and reinforcing the city’s reputation as India’s IT capital. Beyond job creation, the new facility will contribute to the city’s tech ecosystem by hosting innovative projects and fostering collaboration among professionals.
Navigating Challenges, Driving Growth
While the expansion is underway, TCS is also addressing the gradual tapering of its significant BSNL deal, which has been a key revenue driver in recent quarters. Seksaria noted that the tapering of the ₹15,000-crore contract will be compensated for by other market opportunities.
The company has already demonstrated resilience, maintaining a 24.5% operating margin in the December quarter despite industry-wide challenges. Seksaria stressed that TCS is committed to expanding its margins further, supported by strategic investments and a growing workforce.
Building the Future of IT
TCS’s Bengaluru expansion is a testament to its confidence in India’s talent pool and its vision for the future of IT services. With 25,000 new jobs on the horizon, the company is set to strengthen its leadership in the global tech landscape while driving innovation and economic growth in Bengaluru.
