TCS ranked 45th most valuable brand globally, valued at USD $57.3bn
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has been ranked 45th among the world's top 100 most valuable brands in the Kantar BrandZ Most Valuable Global Brands 2025 Report, with a calculated brand value of USD $57.3 billion and a reported 28% year-on-year growth. The Kantar BrandZ global ranking, now in its 20th year, highlights TCS's increased brand equity, favourability and global awareness, with the company now positioned amongst the most prominent organisations across all sectors. According to the report, TCS's latest brand value growth marks a pronounced increase in its global recognition. An independent brand audit conducted by Momentum-ITSMA found that the TCS brand achieved a 95% aided awareness rating among business executives across 26 countries, a significant rise from the 29% result polled in 2010. The report attributes this surge to ongoing brand building efforts, including wide-reaching sports partnerships, customer-focused innovation, and sustained marketing. Martin Guerrieria, Head of Kantar BrandZ, commented, "By drawing on the depth of BrandZ's database over the last quarter of a century, our insights show that with the right level of investment and strategic focus, brands have huge potential to drive growth for their owners." "TCS' performance this year demonstrates its ability to innovate at scale with AI capabilities now running through its portfolios. TCS' strategic sponsorship programmes continue to build a strong global presence and community around its brand." The company's growth has been partly attributed to its sponsorship of 14 global running events, which includes five of the seven Abbott World Marathon Majors, among them the TCS Sydney Marathon, TCS New York City Marathon and TCS London Marathon. These events attracted over 600,000 runners in 2024, generated USD $2.25 billion for local economies, and raised USD $279 million for charitable causes. According to TCS, the brand experienced a 30-point gain in brand familiarity and a 40-point lift in brand consideration, the highest among all key sponsors in the sector. Abhinav Kumar, Chief Marketing Officer at TCS, reflected on the recognition, stating, "For 20 years Kantar BrandZ has recognised the world's most valuable brands. We congratulate them on this special anniversary edition of their brand excellence platform." "Alongside the brand leadership we have in our industry, we are very pleased to see this recognition of the TCS brand amongst the world's most iconic brands across industries.

Building a brand is indeed a marathon, yet I would like to thank all my colleagues in TCS for doing this long run, at the scorching pace of a sprint. Kudos to all of them." TCS's brand growth strategy draws upon a commitment to 'humanising technology' and forming strong relationships with communities, clients, and partners worldwide. The company has advanced initiatives such as developing the first-ever digital twin heart of a professional runner and deploying AI systems to navigate complex business scenarios. Its partnership with Jaguar, notably through the Jaguar TCS Racing Team in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, is positioned to enhance its profile at the intersection of advanced engineering and sustainability. The company's brand strength has also been demonstrated through client satisfaction and the employer brand. In 2025, TCS was ranked as the top IT service provider in Europe for customer satisfaction by Whitelane Research, and designated a Global Top Employer across more than 30 countries and regions, including North America, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Latin America by the Top Employers Institute. This recognition extends a period of success for TCS, having retained the top spot in the Kantar BrandZ Most Valuable Indian Brands 2024 rankings for the third year in a row. With Indian heritage and a global approach, TCS remains active in prominent industry forums, engaging in discussions on artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and sustainability, while growing its social and digital media presence. The Kantar BrandZ Most Valuable Global Brands report is published annually and evaluates the strength and impact of brands using a combination of financial data and consumer insights.

Harassed & verbally abused by 4 classmates, teen girl quits school
Lucknow: A Class 8 girl was forced to quit school in view of the harassment, including verbal abuse, blackmail and cyberbullying , by four of her classmates. According to the formal complaint to Dubagga police station, by the girl's mother, the 13-year-old girl had to face prolonged harassment at the hands of four boy students. The complainant alleges that the accused boys extorted money from her daughter and used it for their personal indulgence. "When she refused to give them more, they allegedly hurled obscene abuse at her. The boys also gained access to her Instagram account, sent vulgar messages posing as her, and later used those messages to threaten and blackmail her, warning her they would make the chats viral," the girl's mother stated in the complaint. The family came to know about the harassment on Feb 24 and raised the issue with the school authorities. However, no disciplinary action was taken, according to the complaint. The girl was subsequently transferred to another school, but the harassment allegedly continued. On Apr 18, one of the accused sent her obscene messages again via Instagram, including threats. The complaint also mentions prior messages sent around Holi in Jan and an unsolicited hotel invitation in June last year, which her daughter did not accept. As per the complaint, the prolonged mental trauma caused the girl to develop symptoms of depression and other health complications, for which she is now receiving treatment. Inspector Dubbaga, Abhinav Kumar, said that an FIR under the charges of BNS 79 (insulting women's modesty), 352 (intentional insult), 351 (2) (criminal intimidation), IT Act, and other relevant charges against the accused named boys have been lodged. "A probe is being conducted," he said. Lucknow: A Class 8 girl was forced to quit school in view of the harassment, including verbal abuse, blackmail and cyberbullying, by four of her classmates.
