TCS Creates Central AI Unit and Names Amit Kapur Global Lead

The reorganization seeks faster AI-led client delivery during a soft spending cycle.

Overview

  • Effective September 1, longtime executive Amit Kapur becomes chief AI and services transformation officer, reporting to COO Aarthi Subramanian.
  • The new unit consolidates all AI teams, with the existing AI & Data business brought under its umbrella to unify offerings and speed innovation.
  • CEO K Krithivasan named Vinay Singhvi to succeed Kapur as head of the UK and Ireland market.
  • The move follows plans to cut about 12,000 roles, roughly 2% of staff, as TCS pairs targeted reductions with reskilling and redeployment initiatives.
