Mumbai, December 11, 2015: Tata Consultancy Services (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS), a leading IT services, consulting and business solutions organization provided an update today on its operations in Chennai, after sustained heavy rainfall led to severe flooding conditions across the city last week leading to major disruptions in its ability to function.
Chennai is one of the company’s largest delivery locations, with over 65,000 employees. Other than mission critical activities, the normal business functioning of our facilities in the city had to be halted all week since December 1 due to extreme weather conditions and subsequent flooding.
Through the crisis, TCS adopted a focused approach with two main objectives: One, keeping our employees and their families safe and secure; Two, ensuring no disruptions to our customers’ critical operations.
TCS has already announced a number of relief measures to help its affected employees recover, rebuild and reboot their lives and is engaged in rehabilitation measures for the community.
TCS teams have worked very hard to ensure that our customer’s mission critical operations have continued to function smoothly by deploying a robust Business Continuity Plan which leverages other TCS centers in India and overseas. An operation control center was also set up to coordinate all efforts and ensure availability of supporting infrastructure on a 24*7 basis for the key teams supporting customers where needed.
While majority of facilities in Chennai opened for normal business functioning on Monday, December 7, 2015, attendance rates were lower than normal as employees were still recovering from the flood’s aftermath.
This is expected to have a material impact on the company’s revenues in the seasonally weak third quarter ending December 31, 2015.
