Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) Chairman N Chandrasekaran announced at the company's 31st Annual General Meeting that within three years, TCS expects to have as many AI agents as human employees. He emphasized AI as a major growth opportunity rather than a threat, highlighting AI-driven revenue growth with an annualised run rate near $2.5 billion and a compound quarterly growth rate over 22%. Chandrasekaran outlined five AI growth areas, including legacy system modernization, business process redesign, AI governance, sovereign AI, and physical AI. While hiring will slow, TCS does not plan large-scale layoffs, aiming instead for AI and human workers to collaborate in the future workforce.
