India’s highest-valued IT company, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is now counted among the top 50 US companies for diversity. Over the years, TCS has excelled in areas including hiring, retaining, and promoting women, minorities, and people with disabilities. The company was selected out of 1,800 global organisations that were assessed on different parameters.
TCS got this mention in DiversityInc’s Top 50 Companies for diversity and was selected for its sustained investments and efforts in promoting diversity and inclusion. As workforce diversity tends to fuel innovation, it has become important to expand access to opportunities for underserved and marginalised groups in the community where we operate. TCS offers multiple IT services to customers across 50 US States and Washington DC. The company has a diverse workforce of foreign nationals from 70 countries and 28% of women in the US.
The fact that there seems to be no end to the H-1B woes, IT firms are now completely changing their strategy in the US. TCS has hired 20,000 Americans since 2014. TCS is among the top IT employers in the US. TCS has 424,000 consultants working in 46 countries across the world.

In the official statement, TCS’s Head of Workforce Effectiveness, Balaji Ganapathy said, “TCS’ progressive and inclusive policies are helping us attract, nurture and retain diverse talent. Equally important is our work to expand access to opportunities for underserved and marginalised groups in the communities where we operate.”
