Opportunities

$697.7 billion in 2017 and is projected to grow by $947 billion by CAGR by 6.3 percent in

2017-22. Infrastructure services represented 45.1% of the global IT services market ' total

market value, followed by 30.9% application services and 24% BPO services in 2017.

Cloud-Based Solutions: Digital technologies of transformation and fast internet

connectivity come into being. Cloud-based solutions are growing worldwide and expenses on

cloud services are expected to rise by more than 19% in the next five years. TCS has a robust

cloud-based architecture and is, therefore, able to benefit from the generated market.
Threats

Domestic and International Competitors: Organizations, including Wipro, Infosys,

Capgemini, Deloitte, etc. operate intensively in the IT sector which contributes to the global

price wars which reduce the market share.

Changing Technological Trends: The changes in technologies and the IT sector depend

on their activities. Accenture should constantly introduce new products and services which

exceed customer requirements to compete effectively with its peers. New technologies or

new industry norms may render current, outdated, or unmarketable products and services

under production. The company's competitiveness could be affected if it cannot study the

evolving technology landscape.

Retaining Sustainable Workers: One of the great challenges for IT firms is the survival

of the workers. The high level of attrition or the lack of skilled professionals can impact the

company's performance. The abilities of project management and customers are largely

dependent on the ability of project managers, software engineers, and other senior technical

personnel to attract, train, motivate, and keep highly skilled professionals. Unable to employ

and retain qualified staff, the company may drastically decrease its portfolio of projects and

profit margin.

CEO

Rajesh Gopinathan is the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO ) of

the world's leading IT infrastructure and management consulting firm Tata Consultancy

Services (TCS). After serving as Chief Financial Officer since 2013, he was promoted to the

position of Chief Executive Officer in February 2017.

He has been instrumental in making TCS a global company of USD 20.09 billion.

TCS is one of the biggest private-sector employers in the world with more than 450,738

employees, and for the fourth consecutive year was listed as one of the top global employers

with the maximum turnover rate in a highly competitive market.

Mr. Gopinathan was Vice Chairman of Business Finance before becoming Chief

Financial Officer. In this capacity, he was responsible for the financial management of each
operating unit of the company. Rajesh joined Tata Industries' Tata Consultancy Services in

2001 and served on the modern e-business unit of TCS in the USA. He has assisted in the

concept, development, and introduction of the company's new organizational and operating

paradigm. As part of the Tata Strategic Management Group, he has worked since 1996 on

several tasks with Tata Companies.

Mr. Gopinathan represents TCS's dedication to its customer center ethos, high-quality

service credibility, and creativity tradition. He played an important role in the implementation

of the second round of consolidation, which contributed to the company's deeper

development to sustain the next growth surge. The range of services has been redesigned the

rapid growth of digital services and to address the consumers' expectations for innovation and

change. Its focus on management stability, and a collaborative and participative management

style with a sharp focus on implementation, have provided industry leadership. Mr.

Gopinathan highlights a significant leadership characteristic in his approach to the steering

position: team respect. “You need to understand your teams and you need to respect them.

Respect them from the bottom of your heart, and they will respect you. It is this mutual

respect that is the key to getting extended teams to work together,” Mr. Gopinathan quoted.

When a leader is underpaid, he loses his interest in the organization and searches for

additional opportunities within other organizations, and overpaying a leader also leads to

greater confidence and thus reduced productivity. As the leaders like Mr. Gopinathan strive

for intrinsic benefits, it does not matter for the individual to be remunerated, as he trusts in

sharing his dream of development of TCS over the next years.
