Information Technology (IT) & Software

Tagline: The bench is shrinking. So is single-stack expertise.

Intro:
In 2024, TCS noticed a surplus of Java-only developers, but the projects were shifting to Python, microservices, and low-code platforms.

Solution:

  • Internal “Tech Reboot” campaign
  • 30-day learning paths:
    • Java → Python cross-skilling
    • .NET → Low-code tools like PowerApps
    • Selenium testers → Cypress + Playwright automation

Tech Tools Used:

  • TCS’s internal LMS + LinkedIn Learning
  • AI assistants for code refactoring suggestions

Outcome:

  • 20,000+ developers redeployed within 6 weeks
  • 40% of bench-time eliminated
  • ₹100+ crore in retention savings

Why It Matters in India:

In our IT industry, “deployable” means “relevant.” Skills = currency.
