Скачать или смотреть TCS Layoffs | AI Wave or Skill Gap? The Untold ANALYSIS Behind 12,000 Cuts

TCS has laid off 12,000 people. That's not just a number. That's 12,000 families directly hit.

If you're in IT, this is not some headline to scroll past, this is a signal you need to pay attention to.

In July 2025, TCS confirmed it was letting go of 12,000 employees, about 2% of its global workforce of ~613,000. This is the largest layoff in TCS's history.

To understand why that matters, let's step back. In the last decade, TCS hardly ever saw job cuts on this scale. In 2012, about 2,500 exits were reported.
