Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest IT services company, has denied reports suggesting that it plans to lay off as many as 30,000 employees.

The company clarified that the actual reduction will be limited to 2% of its global workforce, amounting to around 12,000 employees.

In a statement, TCS said: “These speculations are incorrect and misleading. As communicated earlier, the impact is limited to 2% of our workforce.”

The company added that the move is part of a broader strategy to transform into a “future-ready organisation” by investing in artificial intelligence, technology upgrades, and market expansion.

Employee and Union Concerns

Despite the company’s clarification, several IT unions and employees have claimed that the real number of job cuts could be much higher.

According to a report by Moneycontrol, unions allege that over 10,000 employees have approached them since June, raising concerns that the total layoffs could exceed 30,000.

Union representatives argue that many employees are being asked to resign voluntarily, rather than being formally terminated.

This, they claim, allows the company to avoid recording the exits as layoffs, instead categorising them under attrition figures.

A mid-level employee associated with a national IT union told the portal: “The layoffs could easily go over 30,000. Since employees are asked to resign, these numbers won’t appear in TCS records.”

Strategic Restructuring

TCS announced on July 25, 2025, that the workforce reduction will primarily affect middle and senior-level employees.

The company emphasized that it is simultaneously running reskilling and redeployment initiatives to prepare its staff for emerging technologies.

“Towards this, a number of reskilling and redeployment initiatives have been underway. As part of this journey, we will also be releasing associates from the organisation whose deployment may not be feasible,” TCS said in its official statement.

Industry Context

The development comes at a time when global IT majors are restructuring their workforces to adapt to AI-driven transformation.

Companies such as Accenture and Microsoft have also announced significant job cuts in recent years, citing similar reasons.
