Summary
593,798 employees were on TCS's rolls at the end of Q1 FY27, up 9,279 from March, as the company said AI will shift workers into roles such as prompt engineering, model training, testing and lifecycle management.
14,000 campus graduates joined in the previous quarter, and TCS said hiring still tracks client demand while targeting AI-native talent through campus recruitment, lateral hiring and upskilling.
14.6 million learning hours in Q1 helped employees gain more than 1.3 million competencies, while over half of lateral hires already have next-generation skills; attrition held steady at 13.6%.
$2.6 billion in annualized AI revenue, up 13.6% sequentially, was backed by new AI-led deals including an $800 million SKF transformation contract and a partnership giving 50,000 staff access to Anthropic's Claude.
Rs 13,420 crore in net profit and Rs 72,275 crore in revenue for the quarter suggest TCS is pairing AI investment with workforce expansion rather than preparing for broad white-collar cuts.
