TCS will continue to hire despite decrease in headcount: CHRO Lakkad

Milind Lakkad says TCS has begun FY25 campus hiring and given offer letters to 11,000 freshers

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest information-technology (IT) services firm, has reported a dip in its headcount in three consecutive quarters.

But, perhaps for the first time, Milind Lakkad, chief human relations officer (CHRO), said the company would continue to hire in the same strength it did in the past.

“Even in FY23 we hired a lot of people from a gross addition point of view. We are saying that FY25 will be better than FY24,” said Lakkad in an interview with Business Standard.

However, he refrained from giving the numbers on gross hiring the firm did in FY24.
