Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) will create 5,000 new jobs in the United Kingdom over the next three years as part of a fresh investment plan that also includes the launch of a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) Experience Zone and Design Studio in London.
Announced during UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s business delegation visit to India, TCS said the AI Experience Zone and Design Studio will be part of its global PacePort network and serve as hubs for AI-led innovation and enterprise transformation.
The London facility will be the company’s second global design studio after New York.
With over 15,300 employees working in technology roles such as data analytics and engineering, TCS is one of the UK’s largest IT employers. The company said the newly created jobs will be focused on digital services, cloud, AI and consulting as it strengthens delivery and client support capabilities across all four nations of the UK.
The announcement also coincided with the release of a new report by Oxford Economics, outlining the company’s growing economic footprint in the UK. According to the report, TCS contributed GBP 3.3 billion to the UK economy in FY24 and supported 42,700 jobs directly and indirectly across 19 sites. It also paid over GBP 780 million in taxes to the UK Exchequer, equivalent to the salaries of more than 20,000 teachers.
Jason Stockwood, UK Minister for Investment, who attended the launch event in Mumbai, said Tata Group companies like TCS play a critical role in strengthening the UK-India economic corridor.
“TCS is a valued investor in the UK. Its continued investment will create jobs, put money in people’s pockets, and deliver economic growth across both countries,” Stockwood said.
Vinay Singhvi, Head of the UK and Ireland business at TCS, said the AI Experience Zone will help British businesses accelerate the adoption of AI and emerging technologies. “The UK is a strategic growth market for us. We continue to invest in innovation, talent and partnerships to help enterprises transform for the digital future,” he said. |
