History

[edit]

1968–2005

[edit]

Tata Consultancy Services Limited, initially started as Tata Computer Systems, was founded in 1968 by a division of Tata Sons Limited.[24] Its early contracts included punched card services to sister company TISCO (now Tata Steel), working on an Inter-Branch Reconciliation System for the Central Bank of India,[25] and providing bureau services to Unit Trust of India.

In 1975, TCS delivered an electronic depository and trading system called SECOM for Swiss company SIS SegaInterSettle; it also developed System X for the Canadian Depository System and automated the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.[26] TCS associated with a Swiss partner, TKS Teknosoft, which it later acquired.[27]

In 1980, TCS established India's first dedicated software research and development center, the Tata Research Development and Design Centre (TRDDC) in Pune.[28] In 1981, it established India's first client-dedicated offshore development centre, set up for clients Tandem.

In anticipation of the Y2K bug and the launch of a unified European currency (Euro), Tata Consultancy Services created the factory model for Y2K conversion and developed software tools which automated the conversion process and enabled third-party developer and client implementation.[29] Towards the end of 1999, TCS decided to offer Decision Support System (DSS) in the domestic market under its Corporate Vice President and Transformation Head Subbu Iyer.[30] The company also registered its first tagline "Beyond the Obvious" in 1999.[31][32]

2005 to 2016

[edit]

On 25 August 2004, TCS became a publicly listed company.[33][34]

In 2005, TCS became the first India-based IT services company to enter the bioinformatics market,[35] and in the same year TCS changed the tagline from "Beyond the Obvious" to "Experience Certainty".[36] In 2006, it designed an ERP system for the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation.[37] By 2008, its e-business activities were generating over US$500 million in annual revenues.[38][39]

TCS entered the small and medium enterprises market for the first time in 2011, with cloud-based offerings.[40] On the last trading day of 2011, it overtook RIL to achieve the highest market capitalization of any India-based company.[41] In the 2011–12 fiscal year, TCS achieved annual revenues of over US$10 billion for the first time.[42]

In May 2013, TCS was awarded a six-year contract worth over 11 billion (US$130 million) to provide services to the Indian Department of Posts.[43] In 2013, the firm moved from 13th position to 10th position in the League of top 10 global IT services companies[44] and in July 2014, it became the first Indian company with over 5 trillion (equivalent to 8.0 trillion or US$96 billion in 2023) market capitalization.[45][46]

In January 2015, TCS ended Reliance Industries Limited's 23-year run as India's most profitable firm.[47]

2017 to 2023

[edit]

In January 2017, the company announced a partnership with Aurus, a payments technology company, to deliver payment solutions for retailers using TCS OmniStore, a first-of-its-kind unified store commerce platform.[48] In the same year, TCS China was associated as a joint venture with the Chinese government.[49]

In March 2018, Tata Sons sold stocks of TCS worth $1.25 billion in a bulk deal.[50]

TCS received the 2019 American Business Awards from Four Stevies.[51]

On 8 October 2020, TCS surpassed Accenture in market capitalization to become the world's most valuable IT company with a market capitalization of $144.73 billion.[52] On 25 January 2021, TCS again surpassed Accenture briefly in market capitalization to become the world's most-valuable IT company with a market cap of $170 billion.[53] The same day, TCS became India's most valuable company, surpassing Reliance Industries with a market capitalization of 12.55 trillion (equivalent to 14 trillion or US$170 billion in 2023).[54] In 2021 Tata was also one of the largest job providers in India, hiring 43,000 individuals in H1 FY22.[55] In October 2021, N Ganapathy Subramaniam, the COO of TCS, stated that its platforms and products business is worth approximately $3 billion.[56] The company's platforms and products business includes TCS' SaaS-based platforms, and according to Subramaniam, between October 2020 and October 2021, 95% of the deals won by TCS have been for its cloud platforms and SaaS platforms.[56] Also, in 2021 TCS got a millennial makeover. Under the leadership of Rajashree R, TCS Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), the company changed the tagline from "Experience Certainty" to "Building on Belief".[57]

In May 2021, alongside consortium partner Neurotechnology, TCS was selected by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to provide biometric technology for the Aadhaar digital ID program.[58] The Aadhaar program has been described by the World Bank Chief Economist Paul Romer as the "most sophisticated ID programme in the world"[59] owing to the existing database of over 1.3 billion citizens.[58]

Controversies

[edit]

On 14 February 2006, US law firm Lieff Cabraser filed a nationwide class action lawsuit against Tata.[148] In July 2013, judge Claudia Wilken of the US District Court, Northern District of California in Oakland, California, granted final approval to the settlement of the lawsuit on behalf of all non-US citizens employed by TCS within the state of California from 14 February 2002 to 30 June 2005. The workers claimed that they were forced to sign over their federal and state tax refunds to their employer, as well as stating their Indian salaries were wrongfully deducted from their US pay.[149]

On 22 February 2013, the company agreed to settle for a sum of 1.62 billion (equivalent to 2.8 billion or US$33 million in 2023), this class-action suit filed in a United States court on payment to employees on deputation.[127]

A US grand jury has slapped two companies of India's Tata Group – Tata Consultancy Services and Tata America International Corp – with a US$940 million fine in a trade secret lawsuit filed against them. Epic Systems had accused TCS and Tata America International Corp, in a lawsuit filed in October 2014 in US District Court in Madison, which was amended in January and December 2015, of "brazenly stealing the trade secrets, confidential information, documents and data" belonging to Epic.[150] This Epic Systems lawsuit against TCS was completed in November 2023 with TCS agreeing to pay US$125M.[151]

In 2019, an employee filed a complaint with the Kancheepuram labour court[152] alleging that Tata Consultancy Services' internal complaints committee mishandled[153] a sexual harassment case, and the case was approved. Over four years later the worker's case has not progressed, with the worker accusing the company of holding up investigations.[154] Over the years she has also reported unexplained transfers[155] and other alleged workplace retribution, including in performance reviews.[156]

On 20 October 2023, Tata failed to deliver digital exams to candidates applying to the University of Oxford. Some sources state that due to inadequate preparation, a technical glitch caused the exams to be delayed by more than 2 hours, and even completely cancelled in some cases.[157][158]
