In short

The Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is preparing 12,000 employees to be more agitated and prepared for the future as part of a major reorganization push. At the other end, US President Donald Trump has directed India to prevent outsourcing jobs to promote domestic employment.

Now, both these developments are not directly connected, but are expecting to get a new job for Indian techniques, or even holding their current employment, all indications point to the future of very uncertainty. What is happening in TCS, which is one of India’s top IT companies, or in the US where many young graduates are aspiring to go and work. The reasons can be a numerous of the reasons, but no one can help, but slightly shaken with a recent twist of events.

For those who are asking for answers and understand what is going on, there is a quick 5-point of all news and why it is unstable to say at least:

Point 1: TCS to cut 2 percent of its workforce

TCS, which employs more than 6.13 lakh people worldwide by June 2025, will allegedly reduce its headcount by about 2 percent in FY 2026. This means that more than 12,000 TCS employees will lose their jobs. These job cuts will mainly affect TCS employees at middle and senior management levels. TCS CEO K. Krithivasan told Moneycontrol that the deduction is part of a comprehensive effort to align skills with the demands of the changing industry rather than a simple cost-cut practice. “This is not due to AI, but to address the skills for the future,” Krithivasan said.

Point 2: TCS is automatic tasks with AI

Although the TCS has denied that the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence is directly responsible for trimmed, industry analysts believe that AI and automation are the major factors affecting the needs of staffing. TCS is playing a rapidly automated role in areas such as manual testing, leading to many senior employees struggling to adapt these emerging technologies. While TCS is deploying AI on a scale and running its employees again, Kritivasan admitted that the ongoing redistributions are “not effective” in all cases, making the sorting unavoidable.

Point 3: Vimanous Package by TCS

TCS will have a job cut in the coming days, and the company has assured that it will provide a breakdown package of the affected staff members, salary for notice period, extended health insurance and outplay assistance. The company has also revealed that it is updating its bench policy to focus on keeping employees with client projects. Krithivasan said that this change is designed to put “positive pressure” on employees so that they can remain active rather than being unscrupulous for a very long time.

Point 4: Trump asked Tech companies to hire Americans

Earlier this month, US President Donald Trump called for prominent technology companies such as Google and Microsoft to work abroad including India. Speaking at the AI summit in Washington, Trump criticized what he described as a “global mentality” of technical firms and said he should be “all for America”. He said, “Many of our largest technical companies have blessed American independence while building their factories in China, hiring workers in India and earning profits in Ireland under President Trump, ending those days.”

Point 5: Trump made Indians difficult to get a job in America

On 23 July 2025, President Trump also signed three executive orders as part of a comprehensive “AI action plan”. Trump with this scheme aims to strengthen the American leadership in artificial intelligence. The scheme ordered to rapidly track the construction of AI Infrastructure in the US, including the data centers and energy sources, all federal AIs “politically neutral” or “non-vend” AI models, and encourage the manufacture of the entire “AI Tech Stack” within the US.

These orders do not ask Tech companies not to work abroad to get federal funds and also mention that American states may be less seen with strict AI rules. The immediate effect of these orders on Indian IT service exports may be limited, as rules are largely aimed at federal contracts and infrastructure projects. This indicates tight rules and enhances increasing obstacles for Indian firms and technology that work in or in the US.
