PRESS RELEASE

PARIS | MUMBAI, JANUARY 20, 2025: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting and business solutions, has inaugurated a new delivery center in Toulouse, France. In the new state-of-the-art facility, TCS will harness next-generation technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), generative AI, machine learning, and data analytics to help customers in aerospace and related industries such as manufacturing and defence.

The delivery centre will facilitate AI-driven transformation and foster innovation to improve aircraft design, manufacturing, and maintenance processes for European clients. This includes enhancing fuel efficiency, developing advanced materials for lighter aircraft structures, and implementing predictive maintenance to minimize downtime, improve safety, and redefine the passenger experience of the future. This delivery centre is strategically located in Blagnac near Toulouse Airport to be closer to customers in the aerospace industry. This is TCS’ fourth delivery center in France after Lille, Poitiers, and Paris-Suresnes.

Anupam Singhal, President - Manufacturing, TCS, said, “This new center embodies TCS' commitment to driving future-ready manufacturing within the aerospace industry. By harnessing the power of AI and our deep domain expertise, we aim to achieve new heights of efficiency, sustainability, and innovation. Together, we are not just shaping the future of aircraft production but enabling future-ready skies.”

TCS has been present in France for the past 30 years, working closely with some of the largest European businesses. It supports CAC 40 companies and large enterprises in their digital transformation journeys, with a consistent track record of delivering value and innovation. It has ramped up investments in the country and its skilled workforce in the past few years and plans to double its workforce in the region. Recently, the company launched its cutting-edge innovation hub TCS Pace Port^TMin Paris, a reflection of its long-term commitment to fostering economic growth in the region.

By adopting a ‘glocal’ approach—combining local engagement with global capabilities—TCS aims to replicate the success of its existing delivery hubs in Lille, Poitiers, and the Paris region. In 2024, TCS ranked first in customer satisfaction for the sixth consecutive year in an independent survey by Whitelane Research.

Rammohan Gourneni, Country Head for France, TCS, said, “Our ‘glocal’ model, combining proximity with key industrial players and cutting-edge international expertise, is a real asset. This new center of excellence, a real catalyst for growth for our long-term strategy in France, brings together the best local talent and mobilizes the entire international know-how of our group to offer sharp advice and flawless project execution to aerospace players. More than an expertise center, it is an engine of opportunities for engineers in the region, offering them dynamic and stimulating career prospects in an international environment. We aim to significantly invest in technologies, partnerships, and local talent to contribute to the development of an excellent aerospace industry, here in France.”

The delivery center in Toulouse will play a pivotal role in accelerating recruitment in the region, leveraging the local talent pool, academic partnerships, and TCS’ existing capabilities in France. As a certified Top Employer in France, TCS is committed to fostering talent development and promoting innovation, particularly through strong collaborations with leading schools and universities such as Pôle Léonard de Vinci and EPITA. These partnerships aim to equip future generations with the skills needed to thrive in an evolving digital landscape.
