TCS to Lay Off 12,000 Employees | CEO Says It's Not Due to AI, But Skill Mismatch | News9

Описание: India’s largest IT firm Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is laying off nearly 12,000 employees globally — in what could be its biggest workforce reduction ever.

CEO K Krithivasan has clarified this isn’t an AI-triggered purge. Instead, the layoffs stem from skill mismatches and structural changes in the way TCS delivers services — shifting from traditional project-based work to a more agile, product-centric model.

Mid-to-senior-level employees — particularly those unable to adapt to evolving tech roles — are the most affected. Despite massive reskilling drives, re-deployment hasn’t kept up.

TCS has assured severance packages, health and mental wellness support, and placement assistance for those laid off. Meanwhile, the company will continue hiring AI- and future-focused talent, signalling a shift in the kind of workforce India’s IT industry now demands.

Is this just the start of a larger reshaping across India’s IT sector?
