This move positions TCS as a frontrunner in the rapidly evolving field of AI and showcases its commitment to equipping its workforce with the latest technological competencies.
In January, TCS had initially announced the training of 1.5 lakh employees in GenAI skills, recognizing the immense potential and opportunities that lie ahead for IT services companies. Since then, the company has expanded its training efforts, successfully upskilling over half of its employee base. With a workforce well-versed in GenAI, TCS is poised to leverage this expertise to drive innovation and deliver cutting-edge solutions to its clients.

The company has also utilized GenAI capabilities to streamline and simplify the contract review process, including the identification and validation of clauses.
