TCS Tech Days Reach 23,000 Students Across 50 Campuses
Mumbai, November 12, 2026: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has completed 50 editions of its TCS Tech Days programme across 50 academic institutions in 27 cities, engaging more than 23,000 students and 912 faculty members. The initiative aims to strengthen industry-academia collaboration and equip students with skills relevant to the evolving technology landscape.
The programme provides students with practical exposure to emerging and enterprise technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity and cloud computing. It brings industry practitioners, technology experts and business leaders to campuses through masterclasses, hackathons, hands-on challenges, leadership interactions and student project showcases.
The first 50 Tech Days involved more than 620 TCS leaders and technology experts, who conducted 92 masterclasses and 48 hackathons. Students worked under their mentorship to apply AI to challenges across different sectors, translating classroom learning into practical solutions.
The use cases covered production disruptions and maintenance planning in manufacturing, customer experience and inventory optimization in retail, branch services in banking, claims triage in insurance, patient discharge planning in healthcare, and citizen grievance resolution in public services.
Sudeep Kunnumal, Chief Human Resources Officer, TCS, said, “The skills that will define the future are evolving rapidly, and preparing young talent for this change requires industry and academia to work more closely than ever. At TCS, we believe our role goes beyond creating opportunities for talent within the organisation. It is also about strengthening the larger talent ecosystem. Through TCS Tech Days, we are bringing industry perspectives, technology expertise and real-world problem-solving into campuses, helping students translate academic learning into skills that will prepare them for the workplace of tomorrow.”
Marking International STEM Day, TCS said it plans to expand the programme to more academic institutions by March 2027. The next phase will focus on extending industry-led technology learning to a wider student base and providing further opportunities to apply academic knowledge to real-world challenges.
