A National Commission for Women fact-finding panel is investigating alleged religious conversion and sexual harassment at a Nashik TCS office. The four-member committee, including a retired judge and IPS officer, met victims and families. Nine cases have been registered, and the Maharashtra ATS is interrogating two accused. TCS is conducting its own internal probe.

In light of recent allegations regarding sexual harassment and religious coercion at the Nashik unit, TCS's CEO K Krithivasan has reported the establishment of an oversight committee to evaluate the situation. Initial investigations revealed no formal complaints filed, yet suspended employees are currently facing scrutiny.

TCS has formed an oversight committee, led by independent director Keki Mistry, to review the ongoing investigation into allegations of sexual harassment and religious coercion at its Nashik facility. The company has also engaged external experts. Preliminary checks haven't revealed complaints through official channels, and suspended employees are under inquiry.

Amruta Fadnavis highlighted the importance of swift institutional action and internal reporting mechanisms, drawing from her banking experience amidst allegations of women staff exploitation. Meanwhile, TCS is investigating sexual harassment and religious coercion claims at its Nashik unit, with a preliminary review finding no formal complaints.

TCS CEO K Krithivasan dismisses predictions of India's IT sector becoming obsolete by 2030, asserting that AI will amplify the need for IT services. He highlights the industry's resilience due to deep skill sets, not just cost.

TCS Chairman N Chandrasekaran expressed deep concern over sexual harassment allegations at the Nashik office, assuring a thorough probe led by the COO.

TCS's headcount saw a significant drop in FY26, though the CHRO clarified that restructuring accounted for a smaller portion than initially stated.

While women constitute a significant portion of the IT workforce, a notable gap persists in their representation among top dealmakers. However, a growing number of women leaders are now emerging as key figures driving multi-million and billion-dollar deals, reshaping the sector's traditional narrative.

"The right thing for us to do is to disrupt ourselves. Revenue cannibalisation is integral to our growth strategy. If we don’t disrupt ourselves somebody else will,"tcs coo NG Subramaniam said in an interview with TOI.

In an exclusive interaction with TOI, chief operating officer NG Subramaniam talks about why that happened and how the environment is looking.

Women are increasingly breaking barriers in the male-dominated IT dealmaking landscape. Leaders like Arundhati Chakraborty at Accenture and Uma Rijhwani at TCS are spearheading multi-billion dollar operations and strategic acquisitions. Despite a significant female workforce, a gap persists in top dealmaking roles, highlighting the need for more visible female rainmakers to shape the industry's future, especially in the AI era.

TCS' COO N Ganapathy Subramaniam retired on May 20. CEO K Krithivasan opted not to appoint a replacement, redistributing responsibilities. Krithivasan thanked Subramaniam for his client-centric contributions.

Nothing prevents the country's biggest IT services exporter from taking action against employees for moonlighting when it has evidence because it is a part of the service agreement, but young kids will have to be dissuaded, the company's chief operating officer N Ganapathy Subramaniam told PTI.

Tata Consultancy Services has appointed Aarthi Subramanian as its new COO, succeeding N Ganapathy Subramaniam. Effective May 1, Aarthi will step down from her role as chief digital officer at Tata Sons and directorships in its subsidiaries.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) chief operating officer N Ganpathy Subramaniam has termed moonlighting as "unethical and unacceptable". In an interview to Economic Times (ET), the COO of the country's largest IT company has warned that the whole industry could fall apart due to moonlighting. "It is unethical and unacceptable from an employer perspective. Unacceptable for my clients as well. The whole industry could fall apart due to this. Businesses are built based on integrity and certain values. You can’t do such a thing just to earn more money," said Subramaniam.
