Podcasts about Tata Consultancy Services

Today we’re going to catch up with a global executive from one of the world’s top IT services companies. A part of India’s largest multinational business group, the Tata Group, Tata Consultancy Services is an IT services, consulting and business solutions organisation that has been partnering with many of the world’s largest businesses in their transformation journeys for over half a century. That is across a wide range of industries from banking to consumer packaged goods to communications and information services to energy and utilities, and more importantly manufacturing. The company prides itself with its consulting-led, cognitive powered, portfolio of business, technology and engineering services and solutions, delivered through what it calls a unique Location Independent Agile delivery model. So far, the company has over 601,000 consultants spread across 55 countries, generating consolidated revenues of US$29 billion in the fiscal year ended March. Now why are we speaking to Tata Consultancy Services you might ask? Well, the firm is seeing a number of recent developments on the manufacturing front for 2025. For one thing, Tata Consultancy Services had in February announced a collaboration with Salesforce to help customers in the manufacturing and semiconductor industries drive value from artificial intelligence. But what was the rationale behind the move and how will AI reshape the firm’s growth trajectory? Meanwhile, Tata Consultancy Services had in January 2025 inaugurated a new delivery centre in Toulouse, France. The center is said to harness next-generation technologies like artificial intelligence, generative AI, machine learning and data analytics to help customers in the aerospace and related industries such as manufacturing and defence. The question is – how far will the move position the firm for the future as countries in Europe, such as Germany, look to up their defense spending? On Under the Radar, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Anupam Singhal, Global President of Manufacturing at Tata Consultancy Services.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2023, two-wheelers and three-wheelers in India experienced growth of around 37% and 66%. Electric four-wheelers also promised to go down the same path because in that same year, there was a significant increase in sales of electric four-wheelers, 113%.Now, of course, this is from a lower base, but the signs were clear.The conventional wisdom or the narrative has been petrol and diesel cars are going to become a relic of the past. And if you're an automaker and if you're not investing billions of dollars in developing battery technology or newer models with all of this stuff, you are seen as out of touch with reality.Essentially, electric cars were inevitable.In 2024, something changed. Demand and sales for electric cars have fallen all over the world. For the first time in almost 12 years, Tesla's sales dropped by 1.1%. And India is also no exception.If you look at 2024 numbers, in fact, until October 2024, sales of electric four-wheeler cars in India were actually declining. They had gone down if you compare year-on-year numbers all of these months. By the end of the year, it sort of increased a little bit which was helped by a sale of one specific model called MG Windsor and some price cuts.But in this episode, we're going to pose two questions: Number one, why did electric cars become less attractive? And two, what will make electric cars inevitable again and by when?Our first guest is Dr Amitabh Saran, founder and CEO of Altigreen Propulsion Labs. Saran used to work at companies like Tata Consultancy Services, Philips, NASA, and Hewlett Packard before turning to entrepreneurship.Our second guest is Awadhesh Jha, executive director of Glida India, formerly known as Fortum Charge and Drive India, which is a leading charging solution provider in India.

 Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Wednesday, January 22, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started. The Reserve Bank of India is making strides towards making the rupee and international currency by allowing non-residents to open rupee accounts in the overseas branches of authorized Indian banks. This move, part of a broader effort to encourage cross-border transactions in the rupee, follows the RBI's consultation with the central government and builds on recommendations from a 2022 RBI committee aimed at integrating the rupee into the global financial system more effectively. Now, non-residents can manage both current and capital transactions with Indian residents through these accounts and also use them to invest in rupee assets, Gopika Gopakumar reports. For example, a non-resident Indian in the U.S. can hold rupees received from exports to India and use them for various payments, including imports back into India. This flexibility could significantly streamline the management of trade finances. However, bankers are cautiously optimistic, noting that the rupee's non-convertible nature might slow its adoption for international transactions. The Union Budget for FY26 is expected to significantly increase financial support for startups and small businesses, which are crucial to India's economy, accounting for nearly one-third of its GDP. The government plans to bolster working capital, trade finance, and growth funding through favourable terms under various schemes managed by the Department of Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade and the Ministry of MSMEs. These sectors are particularly important as they employ over 247 million people amidst India's ongoing job-creation challenges. Expected initiatives include more robust financial backing under existing DPIIT and MSME schemes.  India's top IT firms are charting different courses in their AI journeys. Companies such as Infosys and Tech Mahindra are crafting small AI models that are perfect for specific, cost-sensitive tasks. These smaller models use less data, making them quicker and cheaper to operate. For instance, Infosys has created distinct models for industries such as banking and cybersecurity by combining their rich internal data with some carefully selected external datasets. Meanwhile, other players such as Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, and HCL Technologies are choosing to expand on existing, broad-scope AI tools known as large language models (LLMs). Jas Bardia writes that this highlights a fundamental choice in AI development between specialisation and scalability. Smaller models offer precise solutions at lower costs, while larger models deliver extensive capabilities but come with higher operational expenses and risks.At Prayagraj's Maha Kumbh Mela, a grand spiritual gathering attracting over 400 million visitors this year, businesses are seizing the opportunity to cater to the massive influx. The festival, held once every 12 years, not only promises spiritual fulfilment but has also turned into a bustling economic hub. According to Sprout Research, the event is expected to generate financial transactions worth around $30 billion. Amidst this, social media influencers are earning significant sums by promoting everything from local businesses to spiritual activities. They look to capture the festival's essence through videos and posts, and charge up to ₹30,000 for a single post. Local tour operators are also capitalizing on the event, offering packages that include holy dips with sadhus for anywhere from ₹50,000 to ₹1 lakh. Even large corporations and banks such as the Reserve Bank of India and Bank of Baroda are using the event to promote digital privacy, cybersecurity and digital payments. Advertising has spiked, with costs for promotional spaces significantly higher than in previous years. Read Devina Sengupta's detailed report on India's unique mela economy from the grounds of the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj. India's bullet train network is set to expand, with the government planning to create new high-speed rail corridors across the country. According to railway minister Ashwini Vaishaw, this expansion will harness indigenous technology developed in collaboration with Japanese experts, building on the experience gained from the Mumbai-Ahmedabad project. The National High Speed Rail Corporation Ltd has already identified seven additional corridors, with detailed project reports for most of them submitted or scheduled for completion soon. This initiative aims to connect major cities via a golden quadrilateral of bullet trains, enhancing connectivity and reducing travel times significantly. The government is also focusing on increasing the indigenization of high-speed rail technology to reduce costs and promote local manufacturing. There are also plans to upgrade the domestically produced Vande Bharat trains to higher speeds to complement the bullet train services.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, has achieved a significant milestone, becoming the second global IT services brand to ever cross the landmark $20Bn mark, with a brand valuation of $21.3 billion. With a remarkable 826% growth in brand value over the last 15 years from $2.3 billion in 2010, TCS has cemented its position as a leader in the IT services industry. This achievement is underpinned by sustained investments in innovation, customer satisfaction, and strategic marketing initiatives. David Haigh, Chairman and CEO of Brand Finance, said, "At Brand Finance, we have been tracking TCS for about two decades, and I am continually impressed by how the company keeps innovating its business and projecting its brand on the global stage. Their consistent efforts have led them to a milestone year where they've become the second company in the industry to ever cross the landmark 20 billion mark in brand value. Congratulations to all the 600K TCSers who proudly carry their brand forward." TCS has consistently proven itself as a trusted partner for global corporations, delivering advanced technology solutions that address complex challenges. TCS' commitment to innovation is strengthened by its leadership in artificial intelligence (AI).

TCS' commitment to its clients is equally matched by its dedication to sustainability. From utilising digital twin technology to lower the carbon emissions of factories and commercial locations to collaborating with Rolls Royce to develop the world's first hydrogen-powered aircraft engine, TCS is driving innovation in the sustainability space. Abhinav Kumar, Chief Marketing Officer, Tata Consultancy Services, said, "As we kick off a new year in 2025 with the World Economic Forum at Davos, we are delighted to see our brand cross this major landmark and cement its position in the top tier of our industry. We have been a strategic partner to WEF for 15 years, and in this period, our brand has nearly grown ninefold in value and is known globally for being a leader in innovation, the ability to deliver the most complex technology work in the world, and in creating long term partnerships of value with our clients. My thanks to the hundreds of thousands of TCSers who proudly build and live this great brand every second. We are all in it for the long run." TCS' focus on marketing excellence has enhanced brand visibility and global reach. TCS sponsors 14 major endurance running races worldwide, including five of the prestigious Abbott World Marathon Majors: New York, London, Boston, Chicago, and now Sydney, engaging over 600,000 runners annually. Through initiatives like the Future Athlete Project, TCS leverages advanced digital twin technology to monitor heart function and enhance athlete performance, reinforcing its commitment to health, wellness, and community development. TCS also partners with Jaguar TCS Racing, which competes in the world's first all-electric racing series, the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. This collaboration underscores TCS' dedication to driving innovation in sustainable technologies and the advancement of electric mobility.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Monday, January 6, 2024. This is Nelson John, let's get started. China has a new virus! There is a rising concern about respiratory infections in the country, particularly with an increase in cases of Human Metapneumovirus among children under 14. This virus, part of the same family as the respiratory syncytial virus, has sparked worries due to its symptoms and transmission methods, which are reminiscent of COVID-19. Unlike COVID-19, however, there's no vaccine or specific treatment for HMPV, adding to the global health anxieties. The increase in cases, especially noted in northern China, comes during the usual flu season but has raised some eyebrows globally due to fears of a pandemic-like spread, reminiscent of the early COVID-19 days. However, health experts note that HMPV isn't new; it's been around since 2001 and pops up seasonally in places like the US and UK. Jessica Jani explains what the new virus is and how it could affect the human body, in today's Primer.  Donald Trump's second presidential term has reignited concerns over H-1B visas, critical for India's $250-billion IT services sector. Historically, these visas have been essential for employing highly skilled non-immigrants in the US. However, Indian tech companies are less vulnerable today than in the past due to a strategic shift towards hiring more Americans and reducing dependency on H-1B visas. Jas Bardia spoke to IT industry insiders who told him that IT companies are hiring more locally in the US, which decreases the reliance on H-1B visas. US firms now employ more Americans than H-1B visa holders in these roles. Data shows that major Indian IT firms, including Cognizant, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, and Wipro, have significantly reduced their H-1B visa applications over the last decade. 2024 marked a significant increase in ultra-luxury real estate transactions in India, with cities like Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru seeing record deals for homes costing over Rs 100 crore. Speaking to Mint's Khushi Malhotra, Ritesh Mehta of JLL highlighted the growth in this sector, noting high-value transactions on Gurgaon's Golf Course Road and South Mumbai's Malabar Hill. This surge reflects a robust confidence in ultra-luxury real estate as a stable investment. The data from PropEquity revealed 13 such transactions between January and October last year, a slight decrease from 21 in 2023. Anarock Group's data also shows that 99 ultra-luxury residential deals worth Rs 8,069 crore were closed over the past three years.India's new Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 is causing a stir with its latest draft rules, especially around the new requirement for parents to verify their identity when their kids want to use online platforms. This proposal is sparking quite a debate about its practicality and the potential headaches it could cause for both families and companies. The draft rules suggest parents need to prove they're really the guardians using digital IDs like the Digilocker platform, Souvik Das reports. While this is meant to keep kids safe online, it's also raising concerns about the extra burden it places on companies that now have to manage this verification process. Ketan Parekh, once celebrated as a prime mover of India's stock market, found himself implicated in a new scandal. Decades after being banned for a major 2001 market scam, Parekh is accused of using insider information to manipulate trades, profiting ₹38.7 crore. Additionally, a Singapore-based trader linked to him earned ₹27.07 crore in commissions, leading the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) to seek a return of ₹65.77 crore from those involved. The investigation, lasting over two and a half years, involved deep dives into financial records, phone data, and digital communications across multiple platforms. Sebi's detailed probe revealed Parekh's use of various tactics to disguise his involvement, including using multiple mobile numbers registered under different names and employing pseudonyms. Neha Joshi takes an in-depth look at the 30-month investigation undertaken by the market regulator, which ended up with Parekh's implication.

In this episode of Getting to Aha!, host Darshan Mehta is joined by Maz Nadjm, a leading figure in the world of social media and generative AI. Maz shares his journey from programming to becoming a global leader in AI marketing at Tata Consultancy Services, detailing his path through roles at Ogilvy, Wipro, and Sky. The conversation explores the evolution of social media, its potential as a tool for insights, and how AI is reshaping the marketing landscape.

United States v. Tata Consultancy Services, LTD

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Monday, December 9, 2024. This is Nelson John, let's get started.India is gearing up for a significant initiative aimed at closing the gap between the skills students learn and what the job market needs. The Prime Minister Internship Scheme, set to launch soon, plans to offer a year-long internship to 10 million youths over five years, partnering with some of the country's top companies. Devina Sengupta explains how this initiative could potentially turn interns into a workforce ready to meet industry demands right from day one. Here's how it works: Companies from sectors like manufacturing and IT, which traditionally face the 'unemployability' challenge due to outdated college curriculums, will provide internships. The scheme has already secured 125,000 internship spots from about 280 companies for candidates with various educational qualifications. However, pulling off a program of this scale isn't without challenges. It requires a long-term commitment from both the government and companies.India is gearing up for a transformative boost in infrastructure with an ambitious plan aiming to channel Rs 100 trillion into the sector over the next five years. This major initiative is expected to become a hallmark of the Modi administration's third term, focusing on enhancing ports, airports, roads, and utilities to world-class standards. This massive infusion is set to integrate rural and urban economies more closely, reducing travel and logistics costs, spurring growth, and improving living standards. The plan includes expanding existing infrastructure and adding new projects, especially in key areas such as transportation and utilities. Gireesh Chandra Prasad and Subhash Narayan report on the grand infrastructure plans under works in the Modi 3.0 administration. India's $254 billion IT services industry is bracing for a major shift due to generative AI, which is expected to put pricing pressure on software app creation and customer support services. These two areas, crucial for companies like Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys, and others, represent about 40% of the industry's revenue. With significant parts of this business up for renewal next year, the advent of AI tools that streamline coding and customer interactions poses a potential drop in revenue from these contracts. Jas Bardia and Varun Sood spoke to analysts who predict that as contracts come up for renewal, clients will likely negotiate for lower prices, reflecting the cost efficiencies driven by AI technologies. This shift could reshape the traditional IT services model, which relies heavily on human resources and might lead to reduced hiring and a reevaluation of how projects are staffed and executed.Social media influencers like Samay Raina are struggling with copyright infringement, which affects their ability to make money from their content. Raina, who has millions of followers on YouTube, shared episodes of his popular show ‘India's Got Latent' behind a paywall. However, some users re-uploaded this content for free, causing him to lose potential revenue. Although YouTube makes it relatively easy to remove unauthorized content with copyright strikes, handling infringements on other sites is tougher, reports Pratishtha Bagai. Legal actions are available but often avoided by creators due to their complexity and cost—most prefer the simplicity of a quick online strike. Interestingly, while this unauthorized sharing cuts into their earnings, it can also unexpectedly boost their visibility and following. Retailers, particularly D2C brands, are increasingly leaning into flash sales throughout the year to boost revenue and stay visible. Sowmya Rmasubramanian spoke to industry insiders who highlighted that these sales, especially around Black Friday, are significantly bumping up monthly sales figures, pulling in as much as a fifth of November's total sales for some brands. It's not just the big events anymore. Sales are popping up for all sorts of occasions, like Valentine's Day and even monsoon season, turning any time into a potential shopping spree. These flash sales are great for snagging new customers who might be more willing to try new products when prices drop, even if they're just dipping their toes in. 

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Monday, September 30, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started.WhatsApp groups are full of people pretending to be legitimate advisors offering stock market advice. These groups promise unrealistic returns and insider information, and have caught the attention of market regulators. Stockbrokers are also raising alarms to such practices. The scams have not only duped investors, but also posed significant reputation risks to the impersonated firms. Dipti Sharma, Neha Joshi, and Shayan Ghosh bring you the details of how the authorities are fighting back to regain the public's trust.The subsidies provided by the Indian government keep dwindling. Now, the focus has shifted towards incentivising players to set up their manufacturing facilities in India. Alisha Sachdev reports that from next April, manufacturers will be required to locally source even the smallest components, otherwise known as child parts. The new phased manufacturing plan also outlines detailed processes for each component to ensure that key steps are performed domestically.Accenture's recent earnings report has sparked optimism within the 260 billion dollar Indian IT sector. Accenture has forecasted a better financial year moving head, especially in the Generative AI-related space. Shelley Singh writes that the Indian IT sector is using Accenture's report as a bellwether and hoping for better revenues moving forward. In particular, there are hopes that banking and the financial sector at large are likely to also spend more towards IT.In November 2010, then-Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi visited Chennai to invite Tamil Nadu textile entrepreneurs to set up spinning units in Gujarat. In a state where cotton was plentiful, and power was reliable, this invitation meant big savings on transport and energy. Despite his compelling argument, Tamil Nadu's textile industry, with its robust workforce and deep-rooted infrastructure, chose to stay put. Over a decade later, the textile industry in Tamil Nadu faces even greater challenges, from heavy reliance on migrant labour to increased operational costs. N Madhavan examines how this has prompted some units to consider relocation to states like Madhya Pradesh and Odisha for better proximity to labour and lower wages. Despite Tamil Nadu resolving its power issues, the textile sector's future in the state remains uncertain due to these compounded challenges.IBM and Accenture are making significant strides in the generative AI sector. IBM has reported over $2 billion in GenAI bookings and sales, with Accenture close behind at $3 billion for the fiscal year. Both companies attribute much of their success to their robust consulting services, a strategy not fully embraced by India's top IT firms like Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys, and HCL Technologies, which do not report their AI or consulting revenues separately. This approach isn't just about leveraging AI technology; it's integral to their business development strategies. Jas Bardia reports on how both firms are proactive in integrating AI into their client engagement processes, often starting with proof of concepts at early sales stages. Stockbrokers raise alarm against fake WhatsApp groupsIndia's local sourcing rules for EV subsidies to tighten Will Accenture's gain have a ripple effect on Indian IT? Why texpreneurs are unable to capitalize on the shift from China & BangladeshLessons for Indian IT services firms as Accenture, IBM lead GenAI charge

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Thursday, August 1, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started: Slowing revenues and weak projections have prompted India's top IT companies to hit a pause on pay hikes. Tata Consultancy Services is the only company proceeding with salary increases, while HCL Tech, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, and LTI Mindtree have delayed their disbursements. Mint's Jas Bardia notes that this delay in pay hikes could lead to more disgruntled employees, and comes at a time of falling headcounts at most tech companies.Ola wants its electric scooters division to be the new favourite of the stock market, debuting on Dalal Street today. With a price band of 72 to 76 rupees per share, the company is targeting a valuation of $4 billion. Mayur Bhalerao breaks down the IPO, helping you decide if investing in Ola Electric is a smart move.The Byju's saga has a new chapter: Riju Raveendran, the younger brother of the struggling edtech company's founder Byju Raveendran, has raised Rs 158 crore to pay the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), one of the company's operational creditors. Once India's most celebrated startup, Byju's, which had signed on as a sponsor for the Indian cricket team, told the appeals court that it has paid 50 crore rupees to the BCCI, with the remaining payments to be made in two instalments. However, the company still owes its employees their salaries.Licious, a pioneer in the online meat ordering business in India, has realized it can't rely solely on its online presence. Mint's Samiksha Goel reports that the company is now venturing into offline stores to compete with local meat sellers. The meat industry in India is valued at an estimated $31 billion, with online ordering accounting for just $500 million of that market. But offline stores are tricky, Samiksha notes. Previous players have faced significant overhead costs, leading to business closures. Will Licious turn out any different?There have been global calls for "de-dollarisation," urging a reduction in the world economy's reliance on the US dollar. India, naturally, is keen to see other countries trade using the rupee. The Union Budget included provisions to encourage the adoption of the rupee as a global currency. However, achieving this is not straightforward, writes Nandita Venkatesan. It requires transforming the Indian rupee into a "hard currency," meaning it must be seen as politically and economically stable. Nandita outlines the challenges and the measures the Indian government must take to reach this goal. She also includes informative charts to help better understand the situation. We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast. Let us know by writing to us at feedback@livemint.com.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Monday, July 15, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started: US Presidents have had a long history of being targets of assassinations — Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy, and Ronal Reagen, to name a few. Yesterday, former president Donald Trump joined this illustrious list after being shot at by a 20-year old. Trump survived, but the shooter did not, after the Secret Service found him. The attack could intensify political divisions and influence the upcoming US presidential election. Elizabeth Roche brings you the implications of the shot heard around the world. The new government is set to present its next union budget next week. If you're a little confused, the Budget presented a few months ago was a small one — meant to keep the government machinery chugging till the election results were announced. The next budget, also presented by Nirmala Sitharaman, is much-anticipated: some reports state that income tax rate cuts might be coming. This is expected to boost the economy. But with only 0.4 percent of the country paying 86 percent of the taxes, will this really stimulate any growth? Vivek Kaul answers this crucial question in a narrative format the way only he can. How much processed food do you consume? It's difficult to ascertain — nearly every packeted item might contain some additive. From beloved namkeen snacks to instant noodles, everything has some preservatives. Shuja Asrar and Niti Kiran take a deep dive into a government survey that outlines India's eating habits. While urban India has started to get more health conscious — think the different varieties of Maggi — rural India loves snacking on biscuits. The rise of junk food in the Indian diet has also worried experts, but that doesn't stop Indians from thronging to fast food joints. TCS investors might want to close their ears: the company's CEO said that hard times are just starting. Tata Consultancy Services shares are up 7 percent since they announced their Q1 results last week, but global conflicts and confusion about interest rate cuts might prove to be dampers moving forward. Demand for the IT company's services has remained muted — if you leave out a contract from state-owned BSNL, and TCS's numbers look much worse. Varun Sood got the chance to sit down with K. Krithivasan and have an in-depth and honest interview about the state of TCS, the IT sector at large, and the impact of AI on jobs in the IT sector. Some people like to cook when they want a break. But what happens when cooking is your job? This weekend's cover story on Mint Lounge explored just that. Avantika Bhuyan spoke to chefs from India's top kitchens about what they did when they took a break. Answers range from playing music to painting to long distance cycling. These activities help them unwind, but also gather inspiration for the next time they step into a kitchen. We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

You may send us feedback, tips or anything that you feel we should be covering from your vantage point in the world of business and finance.  Show notes: Trump's murder attempt: What it means for us   A stormy night and a taxing conversation on the budget  In charts and numbers: India's junk food juggernaut rolls on  TCS not out of the woods, sees no GenAI threat The secret lives of chefs

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Friday, July 12, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started: Indian stock market benchmarks- the Sensex and the Nifty 50- closed flat on Thursday, as gains in shares of ITC, ONGC, Tata Motors and SBI were offset by losses in those of Mahindra and Mahindra, Bajaj Finance, Larsen and Toubro and HDFC Bank. Delhi's summer has been nothing short of extreme this year. With temperatures frequently soaring well beyond the usual, hitting near 50 degrees Celsius, the capital found itself grappling with intense heatwaves. The sweltering heat prompted a significant response, with public hospitals establishing special heat treatment wards and reported heat-related fatalities reaching 58 by mid-June. However, as June ended, the weather took a drastic turn. The city experienced its highest single-day rainfall in 88 years on the 28 June.This sudden deluge not only disrupted daily life but also resulted in significant infrastructure damage, including the collapse of a canopy at Delhi Airport which tragically resulted in a fatality. The first half of 2024 has indeed been challenging for the residents of Delhi and the surrounding National Capital Region, home to a combined population of over 70 million. And the outlook for the remainder of the year suggests no respite, with the meteorological department predicting an unusually wet monsoon, which could lead to further flooding. Looking ahead to the winter, the situation appears equally grim with the anticipated onset of Delhi's notorious smog, which annually contributes to a high number of respiratory-related illnesses and deaths. This persistent cycle of extreme weather conditions underlines the urgent need for comprehensive environmental and infrastructural strategies to mitigate these impacts. Delhi's weather also begets the question - Is it time for you to leave Delhi? Mint's Sayantan Bera examines in today's Long Story. India's largest software exporter Tata Consultancy Services has set a strong pace in the first quarterly earnings of FY25, outperforming its average growth rate over the past five years. TCS reported a quarterly revenue of $7.5 billion, a 1.9% increase from the previous quarter, surpassing expectations from analysts who had projected a revenue of $7.44 billion. A significant portion of this growth, however, is attributed to an unusual surge in its India operations, Mint's IT correspondents Jas Bardia and Shouvik Das report. The push in revenue is primarily because of a $1.83-billion 4G network project from BSNL. This has raised questions about the organic nature of TCS's growth, as half of its $142 million sequential revenue increase was derived from this Indian deal, marking a deviation from its traditional revenue streams predominantly from the Americas, Europe, and UK. Despite these doubts, K Krithivasan, TCS's CEO, asserts that the company's growth isn't solely reliant on the BSNL project. He acknowledges the current volatile market conditions, which affect decision-making and client investments but remains cautiously optimistic about the broader growth beyond this single project.India is gearing up for an expansion of its aviation infrastructure by doubling the number of airports from the current 138 to 300 by the 100th year of independence in 2047. Mint's aviation correspondent Anu Sharma resorts that the plan is outlined in a draft by the Airports Authority of India. This ambitious project aims to accommodate an eightfold increase in passenger traffic, potentially reaching 3-3.5 billion passengers annually by the target year. The initiative aligns with efforts to enhance connectivity to tier 2 and tier 3 cities through programs like UDAN, which aims to make air travel affordable and widespread, particularly in less served areas. Locations identified for potential new airports include Kota in Rajasthan, Parandur in Tamil Nadu, and Puri in Odisha, among others. The plan also proposes converting existing airstrips in places like Mandavi in Gujarat and Sultanpur in Uttar Pradesh into operational airports.The Agnipath scheme is under review for potential modifications to enhance its appeal. Introduced in June 2022, to recruit young individuals aged 17.5 to 21 years into the armed forces, the scheme has been pivotal in rejuvenating the youth profile of the armed forces. It also addresses the ballooning defence pension liabilities. Currently, the scheme recruits these young individuals for a four-year tenure, with a fourth of them being offered a chance to join the permanent cadre afterwards. As of now, the scheme is expected to continue with possible modifications either in the FY25 Budget or later to make it more attractive to potential recruits, Mint's Gireesh Chandra Prasad reports. The financial implications of the scheme are significant, given that the defence pension allocation for FY25 is ₹1.41 trillion, nearly a quarter of the ₹6.2 trillion defence budget. The Agnipath scheme is seen as a sustainable solution to manage these pension costs.Hyundai Motors is making waves with its plans to list its Indian subsidiary, eyeing a massive $3-3.5 billion IPO. This could be India's second-largest public offering, valuing Hyundai India at $20 billion. It's a big move that's turning heads and might just inspire other multinational corporation to consider the vibrant Indian market for their listings. Mint's Priyamvada C spoke to Gaurav Sood, from Avendus Capital, who notes that Hyundai's decision underscores the depth and appetite of Indian capital markets. This  points to an increasing interest among global businesses towards India. This trend is supported by factors like enhanced ease of doing business and significant untapped market potential. Legal and financial experts suggest that other MNCs are observing Hyundai's move closely, with firms like LG Electronics and Italy's Carraro also rumored to be considering listings. Historical precedents from giants like Suzuki and Unilever, which have listed successful Indian subsidiaries, further pave the way for such strategic decisions.   We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

Santanu Das v. Tata Consultancy Services Limi

After a late start to running, Los Angeles math teacher Bobby Imamura became hooked on marathons, just like the rest of us. But at one point, he wasn't sure why. Until he started running with ALS (formerly known as Lou Gherig's disease) athletes, and seeing their goals become his own. Along the way, with the support of Tata Consultancy Services, they nearly broke the world record for running a marathon with a wheelchair while making an impact on all those around him. In April, Bobby finished the London Marathon for his sixth and final star of the Abbott World Marathon Majors.Watch Bobby's documentary on YouTube: https://youtu.be/JwaFDStDb0I

The manipulated audio led to significant community uproar and temporary removal of the principal from his position. The incident has sparked a broader discussion on the criminal potentials of AI technology and the urgent need for regulatory measures to prevent such misuse. AI Threat to Call Centers AI's rapid advancement is now threatening call center jobs, with experts predicting that telephone customer service may soon be dominated by chatbots. According to K Krithivasan of Tata Consultancy Services, AI could render call center roles minimal within a year, potentially eliminating 90% of customer service positions. This shift is driven by AI's ability to handle customer requests more efficiently, drastically reducing response times and operational costs. AI Integration in Gadgets: Essential or Excessive? Tech companies are increasingly embedding AI features into everyday gadgets, but not all consumers are convinced of their necessity. The new Logitech AI mouse, featuring a ChatGPT prompt button, exemplifies minimal innovation, mirroring its predecessor but with added AI functionality. This trend is echoed by other companies like Nothing and Microsoft, each integrating AI in different forms, raising questions about the practicality and genuine need for such features in consumer electronics. AI's Impact on U.S. Power Grid AI's significant energy demands are straining the U.S. power grid due to slow permitting processes and regulatory challenges. However, AI technology could also enhance grid efficiency through advanced analytics for better forecasting and grid management, as per a U.S. Department of Energy report. Tech companies, facing power supply issues, are exploring alternative energy solutions like modular reactors and nuclear fusion to meet their growing needs.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has been rated as the second most valuable IT services brand in the world in the 2024 Global 500 IT Services Ranking by Brand Finance. Steered by steady investments in AI readiness and a commitment to sustainability, TCS's brand value has surged to $19.2 billion from $17.2 billion in 2023, a strong growth of 11.5% YoY. The incremental $ 2 billion growth is the highest absolute growth posted among the Top 25 leading IT firms in the world. "TCS has shown outstanding growth, increasing its brand value by more than anyone else in its industry. This achievement reflects their commitment to innovation and market leadership. The improvement in their Brand Strength Index from 82 to 84, while retaining their AAA brand rating, highlights TCS's strategic excellence. As one of the world's most valuable IT services brands, TCS is a clear brand leader in the industry, demonstrating the power of consistent brand investment and strength," said David Haigh, CEO and Chairman of Brand Finance. TCS, with significant operations in Ireland, has made significant investments over the past decades to expand the global footprint of its brand. These include strengthening its presence at major industry and business forums, in digital channels and social media, boosting its leadership status in industry analyst reports, strengthening its voice in thought leadership, and a series of other actions. In a first such foray seen in the technology sector, TCS has built up the world's largest sponsorship portfolio of 12 marathons and running platforms, which include iconic events such as the TCS New York City Marathon, the Tata Mumbai Marathon, the TCS Amsterdam Marathon, among others. Recently, it has further strengthened this portfolio by adding the TCS London Marathon and the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon. Every year, over 600,000 runners participate in TCS-sponsored endurance running races in major cities across the world, and billions watch these events in broadcast across the world and through the mobile apps built by TCS. "Over the past decades, we have made a concerted effort to make the TCS brand more global using a range of strategic marketing actions, which is being reflected in this brand performance. I would like to thank all my colleagues who build and enhance our brand through their daily efforts. Embracing the Tata Group's larger vision, we are deploying the full power of our brand platforms to not only shape a more sustainable future but also strategically position our brand as a leader in Artificial Intelligence and other emerging technology fronts." Said Abhinav Kumar, Chief Marketing Officer at Tata Consultancy Services.

Over 150,000 employees have already been trained in basic GenAI competencies. To empower its employees in AI skillsets further, TCS launched an AI Experience Zone for its workforce. Leveraging its marathon platform, TCS partnered with champion marathoner Des Linden ahead of the TCS New York City Marathon to create a digital twin of her heart. This twin can offer a new method for health measurement and transform the training experience, thereby opening possibilities for real-time, personalized healthcare by leveraging digital twins, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Sustainability: TCS has charted a clear path to attain Net Zero Emissions goals of reducing its absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Aligning its marketing efforts to this objective, TCS also collaborated with the Council for Responsible Sport, to build the ReScore app - a first-of-its-kind digital application that helps sports organizations worldwide to measure and certify their sustainability performance. The TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon and the TCS London Marathon have already achieved Evergreen and Gold standards on this platform. TCS also sup...

Tech companies reportedly fired over 220,000 employees in 2023. It was a jump of 40% from the previous year. And a record too. But take this contrast. Demand for tech talent still outstrips supply. So why is it so? Does India IT have a talent management problem? Or there is more to it than meets the eye?  Next six months are likely to be crucial as IT firms will compete with their domestic as well as global peers to get a pie in the upcoming 16 billion-dollar worth of IT deals. Well, it's good news as deal wins will help boost the IT sector's prospects, and in a way, contribute to the country's growth. The government on its part is getting its expenditure scorecard ready. Interim budget will be tabled in Parliament on February 1. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has ruled out any “spectacular announcements”. But foreign brokerage Jefferies has said the government will boost welfare spending in the interim Budget. So what stance will the interim budget 2024 adopt?  Dalal Street too will keep a close eye on the interim budget announcements. And it will express its pleasure, or displeasure, through stock movements. Moving on, markets are set to kick off the December quarter earnings this week with IT majors, including Infosys and Tata Consultancy Services slated to report their numbers. Here's a curtain raiser on the Q3 earnings season. After the earnings preview, let us now turn our gaze to Indian roads which see over 150,00 deaths every year. Government recently introduced new penal provisions in hit and run cases. But unions representing truck and taxi drivers have hit the streets against it. The government, which is now on the back foot, has assured them that its enforcement will happen only after wider consultations. Listen to this episode of the podcast to know more about this new provision.

Tata Consultancy Services or TCS -- as we know it – has been hit by a job scam. It has fired six employees after it was found that they received favours from staffing firms to recruit temporary employees. Six staffing firms too have been banned for the alleged wrongdoing, which Chairman N Chandrasekaran described as painful. So exactly what happened at India's top IT company? And what can be done to prevent its recurrence?  India's IT bellwether, in the meantime, is busy giving final touches to its Q1FY24 results. And some reports suggest that it may announce share buyback too with its financial numbers in a few days from now. Moving on, the decades-old debate around implementation of Uniform Civil Code has resurfaced. The BJP-led government has been advocating uniformity in laws governing divorce, succession, inheritance and adoption. It was one of its major poll promises too. So now, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made a strong pitch for it and the 22nd law commission is seeking views on it, we ask if India is ready for a UCC?  Unperturbed by political discourse, the country's benchmark indices are charting growth stories. The Sensex and Nifty have scaled new highs on the back of strong FII flows. In the last one month, the Sensex has surged over 2,000 points and breached the 65,000 mark on Monday, July 3. The Nifty50, on the other hand, has hit the 19,300 mark for the first time ever. So, how sustainable is this rally? Which sectors and stocks still offer some headroom? Puneet Wadhwa spoke with U R Bhat, co-founder and director, Alphaniti Fintech to know his views On Tuesday, the markets will look at global cues for direction. Some profit booking due to the sharp run up cannot be ruled out. Meanwhile, with Elon Musk at the helm, Twitter has become an interesting space to watch. In a social media post, Musk said last week that Twitter has applied temporary reading limits to address “extreme levels” of data scraping. But what is data scraping? Lets find out in this episode of the podcast.

Yogesh Chauhan is director of ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) at HubSpot. His brief is to develop a new and impactful ESG strategy covering all HubSpot's operations. He oversees a range of environmental, community engagement, reporting, innovation and thought leadership initiatives designed to embed sustainability and responsible business across the company. Prior to HubSpot, Yogesh Chauhan was director of corporate sustainability at Tata Consultancy Services for nine years. He was also the BBC's chief adviser on corporate responsibility and environment and worked for the corporation for 12 years. Yogesh Joins Sustainable Nation to Discuss: Upstream and downstream supply chain challenges to reducing emissions as a SAS company Getting buy-in from leadership for SBTI or sustainability goals Activating the workforce around sustainability strategy Advice and recommendations for sustainability professionals Yogesh's Final Five Questions Responses: What is one piece of advice you would give other sustainability professionals that might help them in their careers? Authenticity. My advice to all sustainability professionals is don't get tempted to say and do things that really are not authentic and genuine in terms of how you are driving the sustainability agenda, because you will get caught in the greenwashing mill. Authenticity would be my key advice. Be authentic as much as you possibly can. What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability? I would say sustainable innovation is something that I'm really getting excited about. Whether that's things like green aviation fuel, more sustainable building materials that are coming on stream, scaling renewable energy and the dramatic reduction in costs for renewable infrastructure, and what we see visibly now amongst most populations is the change in lifestyles that people are beginning to adopt and consumers making individual choices. Those are the things that really excite me. As part of that innovation, there's obviously a whole leap of technology that is being built to drive a more sustainable future, whether that's digital technology or engineering technology, and those are the bits that really do excite me. What is one book you would recommend sustainability professionals read? Just looking at my bookshelf at the moment, what caught my eye is the Dalai Lama's Book of Wisdom. It's just a tiny little book with a few quotes on each page, and it isn't about sustainability. It's rather about the broader concepts that drive sustainability, the essence of being. What does contentment mean? What does joy mean? What does the art of giving and receiving mean? I think once you get that into your system and start to live and breathe those core beliefs that are ingrained in us as human beings, from that flows a sustainability mindset. I would recommend people have that by their side and consult that now just to get a sense of realism about what life is all about. What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in your work? Well, actually HubSpot has a number of publications that are part of independent publications but are owned by HubSpot. There's something called The Daily Hustle and the Weekly Trends, again not directly about sustainability, but actually very much about innovation, new ideas, and really capturing the essence of the energy behind startups and small and medium-sized businesses, and all the creative ideas and innovations that are coming out from that. That always gives me a huge amount of inspiration, because nearly always there are things that are going on that people are inventing, developing new business models, new business ideas that have a sustainability focus. At the professional end for the sustainability practitioners, I would say McKinsey's website and podcasts tend to be my go-to on a regular basis. Finally, friends and colleagues that I've kind of nurtured and developed over the years and the opportunity to bounce ideas off and have conversations all things sustainability with. Where can our listeners go to learn more about you and the sustainability work being done at HubSpot? HubSpot has a website which is engaging, lively, and has lots and lots of information. I would encourage everyone who's interested to go there. We have a sustainability section that's got lots of information about what we are doing, including the current report as well. If anyone wants to connect with me directly, then LinkedIn would be the place I would recommend.
