TCS to Hire 130 Employees in Austin to Expand Business Operation in Texas

TCS has expanded its business operations in Austin, Texas with the construction of a new facility, doubling its presence to more than 400 professionals in the city and adding to its 5,500 employees across the state. The new facility will officially open in late December 2020 and have space for 367 employees.

The new TCS Austin office adds to existing offices in Dallas, Houston, and Plano and more than 30 locations around the US, said a statement from the company. The IT giant has hired more than 200 employees locally in Austin since 2019, of which more than 50 have been recent local graduates from the University of Texas at Austin, Houston and Dallas, and other US colleges and universities.

New employees are performing a range of digital business transformation roles in artificial intelligence, machine learning, enterprise software and technology operations. Over the next seven years, the company will invest more than USD $100M in Austin.

“This investment is a testament to Texas’ growing status as a booming technology hub, and we are proud that TCS continues to expand across our state,” said Governor Greg Abbott. “The Lone Star State is the premier economic destination in America thanks to our business-friendly environment, low-taxes, highly skilled workforce, and partnerships with innovative companies like TCS. I thank TCS for investing in Texas and for bringing more jobs to the Austin area, and I look forward to working with them to grow this already strong partnership.”

“Enterprises are partnering with TCS to accelerate their innovation, enhance their operational resilience and deliver superior customer experiences. To support our business growth, we are committed to recruiting, training, and developing the best local talent, as we continue to invest in Texas and across the US,” said Surya Kant, chairman of North America, TCS. “The new facility in Austin is part of our initiative to expand our local presence and drive our customers’ digital transformation journeys.”
