Tata Consultancy Services layoffs
TCS announced in July 2025 that about 2% of global workforce (primarily mid/senior) would be released over the year. In April 2026 it said that restructuring cycle was complete. FY26 net headcount decline was larger and includes attrition — do not treat 23,460 as a layoff count.
