The Global Footprint of an Indian Outsourcing Giant

Bombay businessman Subramaniam Ramadorai and his company, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), are looking for farther shores and a broader base to operate their ever-growing partnerships with western businesses. TCS, a multibillion dollar group based in India, has been among the strongest actors in the movement to outsource work from the West. The firm has many prominent big-business clients in Britain, the United States, and other nations, marketing high-quality consulting and skilled IT support. TCS has elevated its profile in the last year, going public in India and expanding operations to Europe, Latin America, and China. Ramadorai's goal is to get as close to the customer as possible – quite a feat when managed from halfway around the globe. The company's expansion shows no signs of slowing, with 1,000 new employees each month, plans to further develop its health and governmental consulting alongside its financial services, and a West more willing to partner with this Indian giant. –YaleGlobal
