Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced plans to create 5,000 new jobs in the United Kingdom over the next three years, strengthening its ambition to become the world’s leading AI-driven technology services company.
As part of its expansion, the Indian IT giant will establish an AI experience zone and design studio in London. The new facility, modeled after the company’s flagship PacePort, will serve as TCS’ second global design studio, following the one in New York. According to an official filing released on Friday, this initiative reflects the firm’s continued commitment to investing in innovation and technology across the UK.
A report by Oxford Economics highlighted that TCS contributed £3.3 billion to the UK economy in the 2024 fiscal year, including over £780 million in taxes. The company currently supports 42,700 jobs across 19 UK sites, with around 15,300 employees working in engineering and data analytics roles.
“The UK is TCS’ second-largest market globally, making it central to our investment strategy around the world,” said Vinay Singhvi, who leads TCS’ operations in the UK and Ireland. “We are continuing to expand our footprint across the UK, with investments in innovation, people and skills in all four nations.”
The announcement also comes as part of a broader alignment with the India-UK free trade agreement and coincides with UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer’s visit to India. During his trip, Starmer visited TCS’ Banyan Park campus in Mumbai on Thursday.
“Now as we celebrate a landmark prime ministerial visit to India, we have reaffirmed the pledge between our two economies to maximise on the trade deal signed in July,” said Jason Stockwood, the UK’s Minister for Investment.
“As a valued investor for the UK, Tata Group and its companies like TCS are central to this mission which ultimately will create jobs, put money in people’s pockets, and deliver economic growth for both the countries,” he added.
