TCS splits AI.Cloud unit for higher growth, Krishna Mohan to lead cloud biz
TCS established its AI.Cloud unit in August 2023 to unlock greater business value by harnessing the power of cloud and generative AI (GenAI).
Siva Ganesan, now leading the newly formed AI.Cloud unit, remarked, "AI is getting more pervasive by the day and featuring in every conversation now," adding that this trend is expected to "get bigger and more intense as we go ahead."
Krishna Mohan, formerly the deputy head of the AI.Cloud unit, will now lead the cloud division. Meanwhile, Ashok Krish has been named the global head of AI, and Satish Byravan will serve as the global head of Data.
In what's seen as a strategic move to harness the potential of artificial intelligence (AI), the Tata Group company has established a dedicated unit for AI and another for cloud services, according to senior executives.
Ganesan told PTI, "For us, the volume and the vibrancy of activity we are seeing in the AI and data space has grown many fold in the last 12 months." He did not disclose specific figures, as TCS does not report separate revenue for AI. He explained the unit will act as a "central unit, a repository of all AI things."
Executives highlighted that both AI and cloud have substantial growth prospects and largely untapped markets, justifying the creation of distinct business units.
The company is actively hiring AI experts from the market while also enhancing internal capabilities by updating training programmes for existing employees.
One official elaborated that the AI unit also encompasses data because of their close connection. In instances where clients' data infrastructure isn't yet AI-ready, TCS can offer comprehensive solutions combining AI and data services.

India requests UK to fast-track process to operationalise trade pact: Commerce Secretary
Synopsis India has urged the UK to expedite the approval of the free trade agreement, aiming for its swift implementation. Signed on July 24, the agreement awaits UK Parliament's approval. Once operational, it will grant zero-duty access to Indian exports, offsetting potential disadvantages faced in the US market due to tariff differences. iStock Representative image. New Delhi: India has requested the UK to fast-track the approval process of the free trade agreement so that it can be implemented as early as possible, Commerce Secretary Sunil Barthwal said on Thursday. The India-UK comprehensive economic and trade agreement (CETA) was signed on July 24. It needs approval from UK Parliament for implementation. He said if in the next six months, the India-UK trade agreement gets operationalised, it will immediately provide zero duty access to Indian exports in Britain, so any disadvantage from tariff differential that the Indian exports may face in the US would get covered in the UK. "We have also requested the Uk to fast-track so that it comes into force as early as possible," Barthwal told reporters here. On July 24, India and the UK signed a landmark free trade agreement, which, starting next year, will see 99 per cent of Indian exports enter the UK duty-free, while reducing tariffs on British products such as cars and whisky in the Indian market. While India has opened its market to various consumer goods, including chocolates, biscuits, and cosmetics, it will gain greater access to export products such as textiles, footwear, gems and jewellery, sports goods, and toys. Also, Indian companies, such as TCS and Infosys, operating in the UK won't have to make social security contributions for up to three years for employees who move from India.
