This year, TCS will conduct fresher hiring. TCS will hire 40,000 new employees for various departments. N Ganapathy Subramaniam has said, “When there is a contraction in discretionary spending, we hire a lesser number of laterals. In the last 12 to 14 months, we saw a huge attrition. We didn’t know how long that would continue, so we ended up hiring a lot more than what we needed to build a bench.”

N Ganapathy Subramaniam also said that the company has not planned large-scale layoffs. TCS will not fire employees in the coming months.
