Today close to 3.8 lakh-plus TCSers are doing pioneering work to transform global firms for the Digital Age. TCS is today the most powerful brand in global IT services, growing fast with a 12 per cent CAGR over the last five years.” After taking the position of CEO, Mr. Rajesh passed a letter to all the fellow employees of TCS addressing his new role in the firm.
Pareek Jain from HFS research- A leading analyst authority of global research said “The positive aspect of this change at TCS is that N Chandrasekaran, chairman of TCS, will be around. So the strategy direction and commitments made to the clients continue. Gopinathan is a good choice in the given environment. How people will take a CFO becoming a CEO only time will tell.”
