Tata Consultancy Services Ltd Chairman Speech

The supply chain upheavals during the past couple of years are driving a shift towards rebalancing and resilience. As companies seek real-time data to transform their supply chains, AI and predictive analytics help capture insights and react to changing conditions. Your company is helping companies reconfigure their supply chains to ensure that they can serve their customers and stakeholders on time.

Dear Stakeholder,

The past couple of years have been a period of intense action and reflection. We have seen a global pandemic, geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, the rise of cryptocurrency and many other public and private upheavals. As the dust settles, and a clearer picture of the world ahead emerges, I believe we are standing at the threshold of a period of great opportunity and growth.

In the face of widespread change, your company has shown remarkable resilience and adaptability, coming out stronger than ever, after catastrophic events like the global financial crisis or the pandemic.

In FY 2022, your company crossed a milestone of $25 billion in revenues, experiencing strong growth of 15.9%, adding an all-time high incremental revenues of $3.5 billion. Even more satisfyingly this growth has come with an industry-leading operating margin of 25.3%. Since the start of the last decade, the company has grown over four times, comfortably outperforming its largest global competitors. This growth is the source of our energy and vibrancy reflected in the 17.7% growth in market value to '13,83,427 crore in the past year.

The change in technology consumption reflects the prevailing trends in the economy. Recent events have accelerated digital adoption, put the spotlight on supply chain resilience and added urgency to the sustainability imperative. Each of these represents an opportunity that can contribute towards the growth of not just your company but of the ecosystem as a whole.

Digital transformation is now an integral part of the functioning of enterprises, governments and societies. Your company continues to play a critical role in this transformation, helping clients embrace new technologies, initially to cope with the crisis, and since then, to innovate at scale and grow their businesses.

As a fitness enthusiast, I can tell you that the only way to transform in the long term is by strengthening one's core. It is no different for organizations. We work with large enterprises to simplify their technology landscape and strengthen their core by building a cloud-based digital foundation and embedding intelligent automation into their operations so they can focus on building memorable experiences for their customers.

Artificial intelligence and data are key differentiators for enterprises today. TCS helps its customers stay ahead of the game by investing in research and innovation, tapping the intellectual capital within the organization and also of our ecosystem through our Co-Innovation Network which includes leading academic institutions and start-ups working on cutting-edge technologies. Our insights and foresight are also crystallized in the form of AI-powered products and platforms that give customers actionable intelligence.

Another area that is a priority for me at the Tata group is sustainability and integrating that into business decision-making and business models. Your company is partnering with clients in taking up community initiatives jointly, in sharing best practices around diversity and inclusion, and importantly, in helping them achieve their sustainability objectives using technology. In addition to reducing its own carbon footprint in its journey to be net zero by 2030, your company is helping the world's largest corporations in developing and executing their sustainability roadmaps, deploying its portfolio of intellectual property and services to help them track their emissions, reduce their carbon footprint and get closer to their net zero goals.

The supply chain upheavals during the past couple of years are driving a shift towards rebalancing and resilience. As companies seek real-time data to transform their supply chains, AI and predictive analytics help capture insights and react to changing conditions—from widescale disruptions to individual customer complaints. Your company is helping companies reconfigure their supply chains in many ways, including rolling out connected logistics to efficiently manage business disruption and ensure that they can serve their customers and stakeholders on time.

I strongly believe that technology is at its most transformational when combined with the strength of human capital. In FY 2022, our employee strength grew to 592,195 with a record net addition of 103,546 employees. You will be proud of the way your company supported its employees and their families in dealing with the pandemic, including organizing what was perhaps the largest vaccination drive in corporate India for employees and families of not just TCS, but also of its extended ecosystem of partners and other group companies.

In turn, our employees have shown remarkable resilience, loyalty and tenacity in ensuring that our customers are not impacted, despite significant personal challenges. I salute their spirit.

Our purpose is anchored in the well-being of all our stakeholders, and the communities we operate in are very important stakeholders for us. Drawing from the legacy of the Tata group, we work closely with our communities to create equitable, inclusive pathways for all, especially women, youth and marginalized groups.

We leverage four forms of capital - Intellectual, Technological, Human, and Financial - to bridge the opportunity gap for people and communities.

Our primary focus areas are education, skilling, employment, and entrepreneurship. Additionally, we invest in basic health and wellness, water sanitation and hygiene, conservation, and disaster relief efforts.

Since 2015, your company has invested $634 million in its community initiatives and empowered millions of people globally, primarily underserved students, minorities, youth, women and elders, to be literate, healthy, educated, digitally skilled, become rural entrepreneurs and gain employment.

As we look ahead to the future, we go back to a key pillar of our strategy - customer centricity Our organization structure, our investments in new capabilities and intellectual property, our delivery models and contracting structures have all been shaped by our clients' needs. Our new organization structure is designed to make every client continue to feel deeply valued, and to leverage TCS' rich set of capabilities and contextual knowledge to transform, grow and build better futures. With scale and by steadily expanding its transformation capabilities, TCS is moving from pursuing opportunities, to shaping those opportunities in the years ahead.

I look forward to sharing with you more milestones in this journey in the coming years. On behalf of the Board of Directors of Tata Consultancy Services,

I want to thank you for your continued trust, confidence, and support.
