Whether it’s running a marathon or helping businesses thrive in applying new technology innovations at scale, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) understands what it takes to keep pushing the limits of what’s possible.
Over five decades, since its inception in 1968, the TCS brand has emerged as a market leader in the global IT services and consulting industry. Brand FinanceTM values the TCS brand at $21.2 billion, making it the second most valuable brand in the industry.
Rooted in the heritage of the Tata brand, representing trust, quality, and a sense of service to the community, the TCS brand has come to signify the highest standards of innovation, technology expertise and customer service.
The TCS brand is focused on creating long term value for clients, investors, employees and the community. It is defined by its long-term client partnerships. Many of which have been built over decades, navigating every technology cycle, from mainframes in the 1970s to Artificial Intelligence today.
With partnerships that go the distance, it is only fitting that one of the most prominent manifestations of the TCS brand lies in its sponsorships of 13 of the world’s most prestigious marathons and endurance events.
