  • The collaboration will provide a platform for the next generation of independent thinkers to help drive the Fourth Industrial Revolution

MUMBAI | AMSTERDAM, August 1, 2018 - Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS), a leading IT services, consulting and business solutions organization, today announced a strategic partnership with TEDxAmsterdam for the 10th edition of the world-famous, independently-organized conference that creates a platform 'for ideas worth spreading’.
