Leading Indian IT services company Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is set to emerge as a major provider of AI-trainer workforce globally, with the company already completing training over 100,000 employees in the field.
The Tata Group company has also revealed that it has more than 250 generative AI opportunities in the pipeline.
The company’s announcements come at a time when AI is emerging as the new tech frontier with global giants racing to grab the biggest share of the pie.
Speaking at TCS’ Q2 earnings conference on October 11, TCS CEO and MD K Krithivasan said generative AI had caught everyone’s attention.
“At our customer summit, everyone was talking about generative AI as a key theme and how they are trying to leverage it for new products and services. Given that there is an overhang of economic uncertainties, there are discussions around how do you optimise projects, is there an opportunity to consolidate operating model transformation,” Krithivasan said.

COO N Ganapathy Subramaniam said the company was making investments in people and new technologies.
“We now have a 100,000-strong pool of Gen-AI Ready consultants and prompt engineers who are engaged in hundreds of Gen-AI projects for our clients across segments,” he said.
The Mumbai-headquartered tech major launched its AI.Cloud unit in the July-September quarter, bringing together TCS’ three hyperscale-dedicated cloud units and specialists in data sciences and AI/machine learning.
“Cloud migration, composite data foundation, application modernisation, workplace transformation and edge to cloud, coupled with AI adoption frameworks continued to drive growth in Q2,” the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
