TCS to create 5000 jobs—launches AI hub, design studio

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on Friday announced the launch of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Experience Zone and Design Studio in London, marking a major step in its ongoing investments in the United Kingdom. The company said the initiative will support the creation of 5,000 new jobs across the UK over the next three years.

Currently, TCS supports more than 42,000 direct and indirect jobs in the UK. In FY2024, the company contributed 3.3 billion pounds to the British economy, according to a regulatory filing.

“The launch of the AI Experience Zone and Design Studio reaffirms TCS’ strategic investment in the UK and strengthens our long-standing partnership with the country’s economy,” the company said in a statement.

The new facilities represent a reimagined version of TCS’s flagship PacePort facility. They are designed to drive innovation, enhance client collaboration, and support talent development. The London studio is TCS’ second design hub after the New York Design Studio, launched in September. It will leverage TCS’ innovation ecosystem in partnership with academic institutions, startups, and other collaborators across the UK.

Vinay Singhvi, Head of TCS UK and Ireland, said the UK is the company’s second-largest market globally and emphasized TCS’ plans to further expand its footprint in the country.

The announcement comes shortly after UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s first official visit to India this week, during which he held discussions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Starmer highlighted that India is on track to become the world’s third-largest economy by 2028 and noted the UK’s strong position to partner in this growth journey.

The visit followed a landmark free trade agreement signed between India and the UK in July, which is expected to double bilateral trade by 2030 through increased market access and reduced tariffs.

During the visit, the UK business delegation toured TCS’ Banyan Park campus in Mumbai. Jason Stockwood, UK Minister for Investment, said, “Visiting the TCS campus in Mumbai to see their technological innovation first-hand was a privilege. Tata Group and TCS, as valued UK investors, play a central role in realising the promise of our trade deal, which will create jobs, boost incomes, and drive economic growth across both countries.”
