TCS

India’s leading IT services firm Tata Consultancy Services has extended 25,000 job offers to fresh graduates for the current fiscal year, signaling continued commitment to entry-level hiring despite an uncertain demand environment. The company, which recruited 44,000 freshers in the previous fiscal, is adopting a measured approach, linking future hiring decisions to business demand visibility. While lateral hiring offers immediate productivity, TCS continues to prioritize campus recruitment as a long-term talent strategy.

Shares of India’s largest IT services company declined sharply in early trading after its March quarter earnings fell short of market expectations, triggering a negative investor response. The stock dropped more than 3% on both major exchanges, reflecting concerns over growth visibility and margin pressures in a challenging global environment. Despite its strong market position, the muted performance has raised questions about near-term demand trends in the IT sector.
