In a major move signaling its long-term commitment to the United Kingdom, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced plans to create 5,000 new TCS UK jobs across the country over the next three years. This initiative comes just a day after reports emerged of the IT giant cutting nearly 20,000 positions globally, reflecting the company’s strategy to rebalance its workforce while simultaneously investing in high-growth markets. The new hiring drive demonstrates TCS’s confidence in the UK economy and its commitment to supporting digital transformation across Britain.

Alongside the employment announcement, TCS unveiled its new Artificial Intelligence (AI) Experience Zone and Design Studio in London, a cutting-edge AI innovation hub London designed to help British businesses leverage AI and emerging technologies for faster growth. The hub will serve as a platform for enterprises, startups, and research institutions to co-create solutions, explore automation, and implement AI-driven innovations in real-world business applications.
“With its continued investment in creating employment and supporting talent development, TCS will create 5,000 new jobs across the UK over the next three years,” the company said in a statement. This bold move underscores the company’s strong belief in the region’s digital growth potential and its commitment to nurturing a skilled workforce capable of driving technological innovation.
Strengthening TCS’s UK Footprint
The announcement was made in tandem with an economic impact report by Oxford Economics, which revealed Tata Consultancy Services UK contributed £3.3 billion to the UK economy in FY2024 and paid over £780 million in taxes — an amount equivalent to the salaries of more than 20,000 teachers. Currently, TCS supports 42,700 jobs across the UK, with 15,300 positions dedicated to high-skilled roles in engineering, software development, data analytics, and AI research.
“The UK is TCS’s second-largest market globally, making it central to our worldwide investment strategy,” said Vinay Singhvi, Head of UK & Ireland at TCS. “Our new TCS AI Experience Zone will act as a hub for collaboration, innovation, and experimentation, enabling British enterprises to lead in AI adoption and digital transformation in the UK.”
AI Experience Zone: Fostering Innovation in London
Situated in London, the AI Experience Zone reimagines TCS’s flagship PacePort innovation hub, providing immersive demos, design sessions, and collaborative workshops. Enterprises exploring automation, data analytics, and responsible AI can utilize this hub to accelerate innovation. The initiative not only strengthens TCS’s digital footprint in the UK but also promotes local talent development and technological advancement.
UK Minister for Investment Jason Stockwood, who accompanied Prime Minister Keir Starmer on his India visit, praised the initiative:
“Tata Group and companies like TCS are at the core of our mission to create jobs, drive innovation, and deliver sustainable economic growth across both nations.”
TCS: Driving Digital Transformation and Social Impact
Beyond business investments, TCS continues to make a significant social impact in the UK through education, health, and community development programs. The company is the title sponsor of the TCS London Marathon, which raised a record £73.5 million for charitable causes in 2024. These initiatives reflect TCS’s commitment to societal development alongside its corporate expansion.
Industry analysts have lauded TCS’s expansion in the UK. Nick Mayes, Principal Analyst at PAC, said:
“This latest TCS investment UK reinforces its leadership as a provider of critical digital services, supporting large-scale digital transformation programs in the UK and enabling clients to leverage AI-driven innovation.”
As TCS UK jobs grow and its AI capabilities expand, the move signals the company’s confidence in the UK’s evolving tech landscape. The creation of 5,000 new roles at a time when global markets remain uncertain highlights Tata Consultancy Services’ commitment to job creation, AI innovation, and sustainable digital growth across the United Kingdom.
