TCS Research Interaction Day

Tata Consultancy Services Limited (TCS) has a deep and historical relationship with Innovation.

We presented one of the biggest disruptive innovations in the IT industry, with the offshoring model of
project development.

Conscious of importance of Innovation for sustained market leadership, TCS established the first software
R&D centre in India in 1981.

Over the years this single seed of Innovation has spawned a global network of Innovation Labs and a Co-
Innovation Network (COIN) that stay committed to creating breakthrough in technologies that help power
business successes.

TCS is supporting research scholars at various Institutes through our TCS Research Scholar Program.
This program has generated positive traction in encouraging students to pursue PhD in Computing
Sciences.

TCS Research Interaction Day would provide a platform to share knowledge between TCS researchers
and the academic fraternity.
During this day, TCS researchers will present some of their work. Innovation Evangelist will speak on
application of research in business.
