TCS expands capacity in Bhubhaneswar

IT major Tata Consultancy Services today announced addition of 3,000 seats by expanding its capacity in Odisha with the opening of Phase II of its campus at Kalinga Park here.
With the inauguration of Phase II by Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today, TCS Kalinga Park, designed as India's first Platinum-rated LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) IT Campus, has an operational capacity of 4,000 seats.
TCS Kalinga Park, one of the greenest buildings in India developed over 45 acres of land, is an addition to the company's unique Global Network Delivery Model (GNDM).
TCS Kalinga Park campus is a Special Economic Zone that serves global TCS customers in industry segments like Banking and Financial Services, Retail, Telecom, Manufacturing, and Government with a focus on technology areas like Enterprise Solutions, Assurance Services and IT services.

TCS has been operating in Odisha since 1999 and is ranked among the top software exporters from Odisha.
Despite facing difficulties in the passport e-seva

project, Chandrasekaran said TCS will continue to bid for government projects.
"We will be bidding on domestic projects...TCS has invested a lot in the Indian market in mission critical projects...So it is not fair to say that all government projects are bad," he said.
Apart from the passport project, he said the company has worked for a host of domestic entities like the NSE, BSE, NSDL, Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Income Tax Department, and the state governments of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.

Asked about the difficulties surrounding the digital vertical of a large company, he said TCS does not look at it as a challenge because it has made the right investments in the past.
He said as "everything becomes digital", the company is set to exceed its expectations on the performance of the digital stream.
As against the target of achieving USD 5 billion in revenues from the segment in a few years, announced last year, it has already touched USD 2 billion at present, he added.
