India’s IT major Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced salary increases for all employees across grades starting April 1, marking a positive start to the new financial year. While last year mid-level and junior employees received hikes ranging from 4.5% to 7% and top performers up to 10%, the company has not disclosed the specific increment percentages for this year.
TCS Chief HR Officer Sudeep Kunhummel stated that the decision aims to realign employees with evolving technology demands. The company is investing heavily in skill enhancement, especially in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) sector. In Q4 FY26, TCS recruited 2,300 new employees, bringing its total workforce to 584,519.
Financially, TCS reported strong growth in the quarter ending March. Net profit rose by 12.2% to ₹13,718 crore, while revenue increased by 9.6% to ₹70,698 crore. These results reflect the company’s resilience amid global market uncertainties and continued demand for IT services.
The salary hike not only reinforces employee confidence but also signals TCS’s commitment to talent retention and skill development. Industry analysts view this move as a benchmark for other IT firms, highlighting the company’s strategic focus on workforce preparedness for future technology trends.
