- Amit Kapur becomes chief AI and services transformation officer on September 1 and will report to executive director and COO Aarthi Subramanian.
- The unit’s remit includes refreshing service propositions, deepening domain solutions, expanding partnerships, and using TCS Pace Ports to bring AI capabilities to clients.
- Vinay Singhvi will succeed Kapur as head of the UK and Ireland market starting September 1.
