Noel Tata's BIG bet on artificial intelligence, TCS split its AI Cloud business unit into…, target higher growth from…
As part of its strategic focus on artificial intelligence (AI), the Tata Group company has established a dedicated business unit specially for AI, while creating a separate unit to concentrate on Cloud technologies, according to senior officials as cited by PTI.
Siva Ganesan, who is heading the newly created AI Data unit, said AI is getting more pervasive by the day and featuring in every conversation now, and added that it is only expected to get bigger and more intense as we go ahead.
'For us, the volume and the vibrancy of activity we are seeing in the AI and data space has grown manyfold in the last 12 months,' he told PTI, declining to share details by numbers as the company does not break up AI revenue in reporting.
He said that this would be like a central unit, a repository of all AI things.
The company feels that there is significant growth potential and a wide untapped market for both, AI and Cloud, officials said, pointing out that this is the reason to have dedicated business units.
An official said that data is being made a part of the AI business unit because both are closely linked and explained that in many cases where the data landscape of organisations may not be ready to deal with AI, TCS can offer its services as a combined proposition.
Ganesan was the chief of the AI.Cloud unit earlier, while Krishna Mohan, the deputy head of the AI.Cloud will now head the cloud unit. Ashok Krish has been appointed as the global head of AI while Satish Byravan will be the global head of Data.
The company aspires to grow 'exponentially' in the evolving field of AI and capture the rapidly changing market, due to which it is 'inevitable' to run AI as a focused and more close-to-domain unit, an official said.

AI Legislators' Forum: An effort to bridge policy, innovation gap by training lawmakers
A group of lawmakers came together at a common platform on Wednesday to launch the Artificial Intelligence Legislators' Forum, an initiative designed to equip Members of Parliament (MPs) and Members of Legislative Assemblies (MLAs) with the knowledge, tools, and networks to shape India's tech policy landscape. The Artificial Intelligence Legislators' Forum (AILF) brings together lawmakers, technologists, and policy experts to shape responsible AI governance and fosters informed dialogue on ethical frameworks, regulatory gaps, and emerging AI challenges, said Future Shift Labs, a think tank working on emerging tech, international affairs and governance. Members of Parliament Sujeet Kumar, Shashank Mani, Rabindra Narayan Behera, and Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu attended the launch at the Constitution Club in the national capital. 'We need a humanistic AI that can reach anywhere and to everyone. The market should be decentralised, where AI is in the hands of everyone and anyone with options and not domination,' Shashank Mani said at the launch. Mani is a Bharatiya Janata Party MP in Lok Sabha representing Deoria in Uttar Pradesh. According to the organisation behind the idea, AILF empowers legislators with insights to craft inclusive, future-ready laws that balance innovation with accountability in an increasingly AI-driven world. Rabindra Narayan Behera, the BJP MP from Jajpur seat, spoke about AI and its connection with Hindu mythology. Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu, the TDP MP in Lok Sabha, spoke about technology used in agriculture in Andhra Pradesh, where the TDP is the ruling party under Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. Sujeet Kumar, the BJP MP in Rajya Sabha, spoke about the flip sides of AI. We need a humanistic AI that can reach anywhere and to everyone. The market should be decentralised, where AI is in the hands of everyone and anyone with options and not domination. As AI increasingly influences public service delivery, economic growth, and democratic processes, the Forum seeks to bridge a critical gap between India's rapidly advancing AI ecosystem and its legislative preparedness, said Sagar is the Director and co-founder of Future Shift Labs. This initiative will annually engage 30 legislators through curated workshops, fellowships, and structured dialogues with experts, enabling informed policymaking on AI's ethical, developmental, and governance dimensions.
