IT and business services are moving toward autonomous operations: Tata chief
BENGALURU: IT and business services are moving toward autonomous operations and software development is being redefined by AI-led modernisation, says Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) Chairman N Chandrasekaran, who is also the Chairman of Tata Sons, in his letter to shareholders.
In the company's FY2025 Annual Report, he said Agentic AI is being embedded deeply into enterprise systems and that Tata Consultancy Services has infused AI across its offerings and built intelligent agent solutions throughout the value chain.
Talking about Generative AI he said the single most transformative force in 2024 was Gen AI. "The rise of autonomous robots and AI agents promises a future of 'dark factories' and AI-assisted enterprise functions," he said, adding every industry stands to benefit from Gen AI and that the IT industry is no exception.
TCS is planning four progressions- to establish a large pool of AI agents working alongside human workforce; delivering solutions through a human+ AI model; to consciously invest in AI data centres and cloud infrastructure; and forge industry-best partnerships with hardware providers, solution innovators and start-ups.

Indian companies struggle to offer clarity, guidance on GenAI use: Report
Enterprises across business verticals in India are struggling to provide the structure, access, and clarity needed to support the use of generative AI (GenAI) at workplaces, according to a report by recruitment firm Michael Page India. About 3,000 professionals across various experience levels were surveyed in the country in the report titled 'Talent Trends India 2025', which pointed out that despite growing access to GenAI tools, many professionals remain unsure how these technologies will shape their careers. 'The disconnect between GenAI rollout and employee confidence has broader implications. When individuals cannot see how emerging technologies support their future, hesitation grows, and engagement can decline. In a GenAI-enabled workplace, clarity isn't just a support function – it's essential to building trust and retaining talent in times of rapid change,' the report said. Forty-two per cent of professionals in India view GenAI as a threat to job security as deeper concerns surface regarding its use and implications, while the number inches up to 44 per cent when it comes to middle-level management. The top management, with 30 per cent, feels the least threatened. Sixty per cent of those surveyed believe it will impact their long-term career path, the report found. This uncertainty points to a broader readiness gap, one not just about technical skills, but about trust, guidance, and future alignment. Many employees may not be resistant to GenAI, but without clear direction, they feel under-equipped to make the most of it. According to the report, employee sentiment on GenAI preparedness is mixed even as 80 per cent of professionals have access to employer-provided GenAI tools. Thirty-one per cent say their employer is preparing them very well, 22 per cent feel fairly well supported, and 16 per cent each describe the support as average and unprepared. Besides clarity on the use of GenAI tools, some of the other questions that employees are asking include queries on salary and career expectations, work arrangement policy, transparent company culture, and approach to inclusivity. 'Candidates are becoming increasingly focused on transparency and alignment with their personal and professional goals. They are seeking employers who offer clarity – not only on salary and flexibility but also on culture, values, and the responsible use of emerging technologies,' Nilay Khandelwal, senior managing director, Michael Page India and Singapore said in a statement. Workplace arrangement policy, a topic that became important since the pandemic, shows signs of stabilisation as most companies adopt a hybrid policy, with 54 per cent saying they were working more days in office compared to a year earlier. Remote work changes have also remained steady (21 per cent vs 23 per cent last year), and the proportion of professionals experiencing no change in their work setup has nudged up slightly from 21 per cent to 22 per cent. India leads the region in workplace trust, with 61 per cent of professionals expressing high or complete trust in their leadership, well above the APAC (57 per cent) and global (49 per cent) averages. Transparency is also a standout strength, with 65 per cent of employees rating their organisations as open and communicative, the report stated.

Dividend & Stock Split: TCS, Tata Motors, Coforge Among Shares To Trade Ex-Date This Week
Last Updated: From generous dividend payouts to bonus share issues and stock splits, several prominent Indian companies' shares are trading ex-dates for corporate actions. As we step into June 2025, a string of corporate actions is lined up that could influence investor decisions. From generous dividend payouts to bonus share issues and stock splits, several prominent Indian companies' shares are trading ex-dates for corporate actions. A dividend is a portion of a company's profits shared with its shareholders. It can be final or interim and reflects a firm's profitability and shareholder-friendly approach. A bonus issue involves offering additional shares to existing investors free of cost, typically in a set ratio, which increases shareholding without extra investment. Meanwhile, a stock split reduces the face value of a share, increasing the number of outstanding shares and improving liquidity without changing the investment value. Tata Motors has declared a final dividend of Rs 6 per share, with the ex-date set for June 4, 2025. This move indicates the company's steady financial performance and commitment to rewarding its shareholders. With an improving product mix and focus on electric mobility, Tata Motors continues to draw strong investor interest. Coforge Stock Split 2025 Coforge Ltd is slated for a stock split, where each share of face value Rs 10 will be split into five shares of Rs 2 each. This stock split will take effect from June 4, and is expected to increase the affordability and liquidity of Coforge shares in the market. The decision underlines the company's confidence in long-term growth and wider retail participation. TCS Final Dividend 2025 Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India's IT bellwether, is distributing a final dividend of Rs 30 per share on June 4. Known for its consistent rewards to shareholders, TCS continues to show resilience and strength in its quarterly earnings, which is mirrored in this attractive dividend. Rallis India's Rs 2.5 Dividend Rallis India, a Tata Group company involved in the agriculture solutions space, will pay a final dividend of Rs 2.5 per share on June 5. This comes amid the company's growing focus on innovation and rural expansion, and aligns with its goal to enhance shareholder trust. Other Notable Dividend Announcements Several other companies are also rewarding their investors. Larsen & Toubro will pay a final dividend of Rs 34 per share on June 3. HDFC AMC leads with a hefty Rs 90 dividend on June 6. IndiaMART has not only announced a final dividend of Rs 30 but also a special dividend of Rs 20 per share, totalling Rs 50 on June 6. TAAL Enterprises will distribute an interim dividend of Rs 30, while Dr. Lal PathLabs will offer Rs 6 per share. Bonus Issues And Buybacks Two companies have announced bonus issues. Shalibhadra Finance will offer a 3:1 bonus issue on June 4, meaning shareholders will receive three extra shares for each share held. Shilchar Technologies will issue bonus shares in a 1:2 ratio on June 6. Meanwhile, SIS Ltd is planning a buyback of shares on the same day.
