Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced the launch of its Global Value & Innovation Centres (GVIC) Business Unit, aimed at assisting enterprises in creating AI-native Global Capability Centers (GCCs) and transforming existing ones into innovation-led entities. Soumen Roy has been appointed as the head of this new unit, bringing over thirty years of leadership experience, including his recent role as Country Head for TCS Canada. TCS's initiative reflects the evolving role of GCCs, which are transitioning from mere delivery hubs to strategic assets responsible for products, platforms, and business outcomes. As global investments in GCCs increase, TCS's GVIC will provide comprehensive services that guide clients through the entire lifecycle—from initial strategy and setup to scaling operations and implementing AI-driven transformations. TCS CEO and MD K Krithivasan emphasized that the GVIC combines TCS's extensive experience across the GCC lifecycle with its strengths in artificial intelligence, engineering, and operations to create impactful global centers that deliver sustained business value. TCS currently collaborates with over 150 enterprises worldwide, spanning various industries and GCC stages.
