Tata Consultancy Services said it onboarded around 14,000 campus graduates in the April-June quarter of FY27, as the company continued to recruit fresh talent while shifting its focus toward AI-native and digital skills. The company said the quarter also saw a net addition of 9,279 employees, taking total headcount to 5,93,798.
TCS CEO K. Krithivasan said the company does not expect a significant decline in knowledge-worker employment. Instead, he said roles are likely to evolve toward areas such as prompt engineering, model training, testing and AI lifecycle management, while hiring will continue to be guided by client demand and long-term capability building.
Krithivasan also said TCS is investing in experiential, project-based learning to improve deployment readiness and is moving toward a more skills-centric employee pyramid. The company said campus recruitment is increasingly focused on graduates from leading universities with next-generation skills.
TCS had earlier said it had made 25,000 offers to freshers for FY27, with any further hiring depending on demand conditions.
