New Delhi: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest IT company, on Friday, 10 October 2025, said that it will launch an artificial intelligence (AI) experience zone and a design studio. These two will be launched in London, United Kingdom, as part of its restructuring efforts, according to an exchange filing.

TCS plans to create 5,000 new jobs across Britain

TCS also said that it plans to create 5,000 new jobs across Britain over the next three years. This move comes close on the heels of a company-wide restructuring where the IT major seeks to lay off nearly 12,000 employees or almost 2% of its global workforce.

The total number of the company’s employees has dropped by 19,755 to 593,314 as of the second quarter. It was 613,069 as of the end of the first quarter of the July to September quarter data for the 2025-26 fiscal year.

What is TCS’s plan?

The TCS aims to play a strategic role in fostering innovation and client collaboration nationwide with the AI experience zone and the design studio.

The first design studio was opened in New York in September 2025. These studios aim to leverage the innovation ecosystem that TCS has built in partnership with its partners, academia, and startup enterprises across the nation.

“As we celebrate a landmark Prime Ministerial visit to India, we have reaffirmed the pledge between our two economies to maximise on the trade deal we signed in July. As a valued investor for the UK, Tata Group and its companies like TCS are central to this mission, which ultimately will create jobs, put money in people’s pockets, and deliver economic growth across both countries,” said Jason Stockwood, Minister of Investment, UK.

TCS-UK relations

TCS has partnered with the United Kingdom for over five decades and has created nearly 42,000 direct and indirect job opportunities in the nation. It contributed 3.3 billion British pounds to the UK economy, while supporting a total tax contribution of more than 780 million euros in the financial year 2023-24.

“The UK is TCS’s second-largest market globally, making it central to our investment strategy around the world. The AI Experience Zone will further help to foster innovation in collaboration with businesses throughout the UK, helping to maintain an edge in artificial intelligence and new technologies. Additionally, we are continuing to expand our footprint across the UK, with investment into innovation, people, and skills in all four nations,” said Vinay Singhvi, the Head of UK and Ireland of TCS.
