TCS added 9,279 employees on a net basis in the first quarter of FY27. The company also brought on 14,000 fresh graduates from universities across India. This marks its strongest quarterly workforce addition in four years. Total headcount now stands at 593,798. CEO K Krithivasan said AI will change the nature of work but will not lead to a drastic reduction in overall employee numbers. He noted that roles are evolving. People may move from traditional software engineering into areas like prompt engineering, model training, testing, and lifecycle management. The comments came during the Q1 earnings call on July 9. They contrast with earlier signals from the chairman about more selective hiring. TCS also reported revenue of Rs 72,275 crore for the quarter.
