Tata Consultancy Services Rolls Out 25,000 Fresher Offers for FY27, Keeps Hiring Plans Flexible

India’s largest IT services company, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), has extended 25,000 job offers to fresh graduates for the financial year 2026–27, indicating a measured hiring approach amid uncertain global demand.

Speaking on the company’s recruitment outlook, CEO and Managing Director K Krithivasan said that further additions to the workforce will depend on how business demand evolves in the coming months.

TCS continues to prioritise a balanced hiring model, where recruitment decisions are closely tied to project requirements. The company has not significantly increased its reliance on lateral hiring and remains committed to its existing delivery framework.

Fresh graduates typically undergo an extensive training period of several months before they are deployed on projects. In contrast, experienced professionals can be onboarded directly into active assignments, making hiring choices dependent on immediate business needs.

Addressing concerns around workforce reductions, Krithivasan clarified that previous restructuring measures were largely linked to evolving project execution models rather than automation or artificial intelligence.

He emphasised that performance remains a key factor in career growth at TCS, adding that employees who continue to adapt and deliver can build long-term careers within the organisation.

On the business front, the company described the demand environment as steady. While global uncertainties persist, there are early signs of improvement, particularly in discretionary spending by clients.

TCS continues to see opportunities across sectors and geographies, including deals focused on cost optimisation and digital transformation.

The company reported strong deal activity, with a total contract value of around $40 billion in the previous financial year. It is also witnessing better conversion of deal wins into revenue.

To sustain growth, TCS is investing in strategic partnerships and new capabilities. This includes collaborations with companies like Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), alongside ongoing investments in talent development.

Chief Financial Officer Samir Seksaria noted that operational efficiencies and improved workforce utilisation are expected to support margin expansion going forward.
