Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), the largest IT services company in India, currently has 250 employees in Israel, as stated by TCS Chief Operating Officer N Ganapathy Subramaniam during TCS’ second-quarter earnings call. TCS is closely monitoring the situation in Israel and is in constant contact with its employees there. The company’s primary focus is on the safety of its staff and how they can support the local communities they reside in.
Regarding the evacuation of its employees, Subramaniam explained that many of the staff in Israel are locals. TCS will consider decisions on whether people want to return or stay based on individual preferences and discussions with customers. He mentioned that most flights to and from the region have been put on hold or canceled due to the ongoing conflict.
Subramaniam emphasized that the conflict in Israel is not expected to have a major impact on TCS’s business. The company has implemented business continuity plans where necessary to ensure that customers are not affected.
In response to the recent attacks by the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas in Israel, some global companies have temporarily closed certain operations in the country and instructed their employees to work from home.
Overall, TCS remains vigilant about the safety and well-being of its employees in Israel and will make decisions based on individual circumstances and customer considerations.
