Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a leading IT company of the Tata Group, has announced its results for the first quarter ending June 2025. The company hired 5,090 new employees during this quarter, bringing the total employee count to over 613,000.
Milind Lakkad, Chief Human Resources Officer at TCS, stated that talent development is an integral part of the company's strategy. He mentioned that employees collectively underwent training for 15 million hours in emerging technologies, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) being a major focus.
1.14 Lakh Employees Equipped with AI Skills
According to information provided by the company, TCS now has over 114,000 employees with high-level expertise in Artificial Intelligence. This figure is considered the highest among any IT company in the country in terms of AI-skilled employees.
TCS's focus is now on utilizing this skill base to lead transformation for its global clients. The company believes that segments like AI services, automation, and cloud transformation will be the major drivers of growth in the coming years.
Profit Jumps in Quarterly Results, But Revenue Shows a Slight Decline
Looking at the financial figures for the April-June 2025 quarter, the company's net profit increased by 4.4 percent to reach 12,760 crore rupees. This was up from 12,224 crore rupees in the previous quarter, March 2025. However, there was a slight weakness on the revenue front. The company's total revenue decreased by 1.6 percent to 63,437 crore rupees on a quarterly basis, compared to 64,479 crore rupees in the previous quarter.
IT sector experts say that this slight decline in revenue was recorded due to the global recession and sluggish demand in some foreign markets. However, the company's margin has remained stable, which has positively impacted profits.
Shareholders Receive a Gift, Dividend of 11 Rupees Announced
TCS also announced an interim dividend along with its quarterly results. The company has declared an interim dividend of 11 rupees per share with a face value of 1 rupee. According to the company, this dividend will be provided to eligible shareholders on August 4, 2025.
The record date for the dividend has been set as July 16, 2025. This means that investors who hold TCS shares until July 16 will be eligible for this dividend.
The Company is Moving Forward with a Focus on AI
The latest figures from TCS make it clear that the company's focus will remain on emerging technologies, especially Artificial Intelligence, cloud, data analytics, and automation in the coming years. The company has made significant investments in equipping its employees with expertise in these areas.
This is the first time an Indian IT company has prepared such a large workforce equipped with AI skills. The company believes that through this skill set, it will not only meet the needs of existing clients but also explore new business opportunities.
TCS Engaged in Future Preparations
The hiring that took place in this quarter also clearly shows that TCS is preparing for new projects and client demands. The company's human resources team is currently working towards bringing in more talent in the fields related to AI, cloud, and digital transformation.
TCS also stated that the company is continuously upskilling its employees through internal training, coding boot camps, and online learning platforms. This is also reflected in the company's delivery capacity and global expansion.
