TCS to Deploy AI Agents at Scale Equal to Human Employees, Reveals N Chandrasekaran
According to Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) chairman N. Chandrasekaran, the number of AI agents employed by the company will equal the number of human employees over the next three years. He made the statement during the 31st Annual General Meeting (AGM) that the company is developing its most significant effort to date.
In his address to shareholders, he asserted that, due in large part to AI, three-quarters of businesses around the world anticipate a surge in technology expenditure over the next two years. As a result of increased demand from previously unserved businesses, TCS is seeing an expansion of its market share. In addition, he mentioned that TCS's annualised AI revenue was $2.4 billion in the last quarter of FY26, expanding at a CQGR of 22.4%.
Chandrasekaran Addressed Investors’ Concerns
When asked about the effects of AI and investor worries, Chandrasekaran said that both the company and the industry as a whole have been experiencing a steady fall. The discrepancy, he said, is due to people's misunderstandings of how AI relates to IT services. The use of AI technologies, he continued, lessens the burden on programmers and IT staff.
But that's not all AI can do. This is more than just technology. It is a system of intelligence that serves as infrastructure. One thing he did mention was that TCS' market was expanding since companies that weren't previously served by IT services were now in need of their skills. The basics of the business have stayed solid, so this was obvious, he said. Additionally, he boasted that he had witnessed the industry ride out every significant technological wave spanning multiple decades.

TCS’ 5 Major Emerging Opportunities From AI
There are five big potentials that TCS sees coming from AI, according to Chandrasekaran. The first is modernising the core IT services used by major corporations. Second, thinking about how companies function in a new light. Organisational AI management and oversight is the third. Fourth, there is physical AI, and fifth, there is sovereign AI.
Given the longevity and reliability of TCS's client connections, he is certain that the industry as a whole and the business itself will spearhead this change. He went on to say that more and more business operations will be moved onto AI-enabled solutions as the cost of intelligence continues to fall. He asserts that expenditures in artificial intelligence are expected to propel technology expenditure upwards for the next two years by approximately three quarters of the world's firms.
