TCS to Freeze Hiring of Experienced Personnel and Pause Annual Salary Increases Globally in 2025
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest IT services company, has announced a significant shift in its workforce strategy for 2025. The company plans to freeze the hiring of experienced professionals and pause annual salary increases globally, impacting its workforce of over 600,000 employees. This move comes on the heels of TCS’s decision to lay off approximately 12,000 employees, or 2% of its global workforce, as it navigates economic uncertainties and the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) in the IT sector. In this article, we explore the reasons behind these decisions, their implications for employees and the industry, and what it means for the future of IT jobs in India and beyond.
