TCS reorganises structure, splits AI business unit for higher growth
Mumbai: The country's largest IT services company
TCS
has split its AI.
Cloud business unit
into two dedicated verticals, eyeing higher growth from untapped market potential, a senior official has said.
In what is being seen as a bet on artificial intelligence (AI) opportunity, the Tata Group company has formed a dedicated business unit focused on the area, while the second one will be dedicated to Cloud, senior officials have said.
The AI.Cloud business, formed about two years ago, has been delivering higher growth than the TCS average, but a need was felt to double down the focus.
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 is hiring specialist AI talent from the market who are proficient and also focusing on training the existing talent within the organisation by revamping the training curriculum.
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.

Delhi airport flight cuts: Over 100 flights to be affected daily; runway upgrade from June 15
Travellers flying in and out of Delhi in the upcoming months might see a little turbulence in their plans as Delhi airport will be canceling almost 7.5% of its daily flights. For three months, from June 15 to September 15, the airport will be cancelling 114 daily flights, as the airport operator DIAL begins upgradation tasks on one of its runways. The runway, RW 10/28, will remain closed to allow for instrument landing system (ILS) enhancements. Once upgraded, the runway will be CAT III compliant, enabling safer operations during low-visibility conditions, especially in the fog-prone winter months. At present, Indira Gandhi International Airport handles around 1,450 flight movements per day, making it the country's busiest. It operates four runways and two terminals (T1 and T3), while T2 remains closed for maintenance. The Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) CEO Videh Kumar Jaipuriar said 'we want to upgrade that runway to mitigate any issues or problems that we were facing, especially during the fog season. So for RW 10/28, there are two upgrades that we are going to do' Confirming the schedule at a press conference on Friday, he said, 'RW 10/28 will not be operational from June 15 for a period of three months. We want to upgrade that runway to mitigate any issues or problems that we were facing, especially during the fog season.'

'If you look at it from the right perspective, we have got 1,450 operations in a day. Out of that, about 114 operations are going to be impacted, which is 7.5%,' he explained. In total, 200 flights will be affected daily, with 114 cancelled and 86 rescheduled to non-peak hours, as part of the three-month adjustment. DIAL said the ILS installation would be completed by November 27, just ahead of the winter fog season. The earlier plan to shut RW 10/28 in April-May was abandoned due to heavy congestion and adverse weather. The revised schedule, now aligned with the civil aviation ministry's directive, was finalised in consultation with airlines. DIAL, majority-owned by GMR Airports, said all slot adjustments were made in close coordination with carriers to minimise disruption. Representatives of several airlines were also present at the briefing to show consensus on the move. 'Efforts have been made to ensure a balanced approach to maintain operational stability and minimise disruptions during the closure of RW 28/10,' Jaipuriar said.

Amid job loss fears due to automation, a shocking new report reveals how AI is actually making workers ‘more valuable'
As anxiety mounts over artificial intelligence (AI) threatening jobs and wages, a groundbreaking new study by professional services giant PwC turns the narrative on its head. Contrary to fears that AI will lead to widespread layoffs and wage suppression, the research shows that AI is making workers more valuable — boosting both employment and pay across industries. The Speed of AI Innovation: A Double-Edged Sword? Joe Atkinson, PwC's Global Chief AI Officer, emphasizes the unprecedented pace of AI advancements. Speaking to CNBC Make It , Atkinson noted, 'The tech innovation is moving really, really fast — faster than anything we've ever seen.' Yet, instead of causing disruption through job losses, AI is creating new roles and opportunities. 'What the report suggests, actually, is AI is creating jobs,' he said. Jobs and Wages Climb in AI-Exposed Occupations The 2025 AI Jobs Barometer report, analyzing over 800 million job ads worldwide, reveals a surprising trend: jobs and wages are growing in nearly every role where AI can be applied. This includes occupations considered highly automatable, such as customer service and software development. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Gel Makes Mold Disappear Like Magic CleanLix Learn More Undo Carol Stubbings, PwC UK's Global Chief Commercial Officer, highlights a crucial challenge — not the loss of jobs but the evolving skillsets required. 'Workers need to be prepared to take the new jobs that AI is creating,' she said. The report warns against complacency, urging workforce adaptation as the key to thriving alongside AI. — KirkDBorne (@KirkDBorne) Busting the Biggest AI Myths PwC's extensive research debunks six common misconceptions about AI's impact on the labor market. Far from stagnating productivity, industries most exposed to AI have seen productivity growth nearly quadruple since 2022. Contrary to fears of wage suppression, workers with AI skills earn on average 56% more than their peers without those skills—a significant rise from 25% last year.

Occupations less exposed to AI grew by 65% from 2019 to 2024, while AI-exposed jobs still posted a robust 38% growth. Furthermore, the report finds AI does not worsen inequality; wages and job opportunities are rising in AI-augmented and automatable roles, with employer demand for formal degrees decreasing in these sectors—potentially widening access. AI as a Job Enricher, Not a Job Killer Another surprise: AI is enriching jobs traditionally seen as vulnerable to automation. By automating mundane tasks, AI frees workers to develop more complex, creative skills. Data entry clerks, for example, are evolving into data analysts, increasing their value in the workplace. The report also shows that even jobs highly susceptible to automation are becoming more complex and creative, ultimately enhancing human worth rather than devaluing it. Could Gentler Job Growth Be a Hidden Blessing? With many countries facing declining working-age populations, the study suggests that moderated job growth in AI-affected fields might be beneficial. AI-driven productivity gains create a multiplier effect, filling workforce gaps and enabling companies to grow more efficiently.

Turing Award-winning professor Yoshua Bengio sounds the alarm Atkinson concludes, 'It's a prediction supported by the productivity data we're seeing… It could absolutely and will be a good thing.' AI: From Efficiency Tool to Growth Strategy The report urges companies to rethink AI as more than a cost-cutting tool. Instead, AI should be embraced as a powerful growth engine. Businesses are encouraged to help employees adapt, innovate, and collaborate to create new markets and revenue streams. 'It is critical to avoid the trap of low ambition. Instead of limiting our focus to automating yesterday's jobs, let's create the new jobs and industries of the future,' the report advocates. Historically, technology has been a wellspring of new jobs — with two-thirds of today's U.S. jobs nonexistent in 1940. PwC's research suggests AI could ignite a similar wave of innovation, reshaping the workforce for decades to come.
