IT major Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has bagged a $100 million deal from US healthcare and hygeine company Kimberly-Clark, making this one of the largest healthcare outsourcing deals by an Indian company. The deal is believed to be a multi-year contract, under which the Tata company will provide outsourcing services from India. However, the finer details of the deal were not available. Headquartered in Texas, US, Kimberly-Clark is a leading health and hygeine company. Kimberly-Clark makes Huggies diapers and Kleenex tissues. When contacted a TCS spokesperson declined to comment. This is also one of the major deals for the Indian outsourcing industry, which gets majority of its its revenues from overseas clients, with US being one of the largest market for Indian software firms. Last week, TCS has bagged a $90 million deal from Australia's Quantas Airways. The company was also believed to be closing in on a major deal from Bank of China. The Bank of China deal is slated to be one of the largest outsourcing deals in Asia. Earlier, TCS has announced that it was working on at least five deals and was hopeful of garnering over $100 million in this quarter. A 200 million euro contract from ABN Amro and a $200 million deal from CitiGroup were the other major deals bagged by the company.
