The involvement of departing TCS MD and CEO Rajesh Gopinathan with the group beyond September 15 in an advisory capacity is said to have been considered by Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran, according to sources within the Tata Group. Both IT giant Tata Consultancy Services and Tata Sons refused to comment on the situation.
There have been early negotiations between the two, according to unnamed Tata Group sources who spoke to PTI. This is because the business requires dependable and skilled workers as it diversifies into several technical fields. “Gopinathan and Chandrasekaran have spoken about Chandrasekaran joining the Tata Group as an adviser once his notice period expires on September 15. A preliminary conversation has taken place “a source at a technology company owned by the Tata Group stated.
Gopinathan said at his news conference that he does not currently have any intentions to work with the Tata Group in an advising capacity. “In terms of advising positions, my regard for advisers is skyrocketing. I’ll therefore wait and see whether anything transpires from there. there are currently no plans, “He had said.
Gopinathan has almost 25 years of experience working with Chandrasekaran, who values the contributions he has made to the expansion of TCS. TCS increased its market capitalization by over $70 billion and contributed over $10 billion in additional sales under Gopinathan’s leadership. In the third quarter of the current fiscal year, he further assisted TCS in surpassing the ground-breaking net profit milestone of Rs 10,846 crore. In the last two years, under his direction, TCS’ brand worth surged by 212% to $45.5 billion.
