The TCS Story - Ramadorai

Established in 1968, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has grown to its current position as the largest IT services firm in Asia on the basis of its outstanding service record, collaborative partnerships, innovation and corporate responsibility. TCS is one of the largest private sector employers in India with a core strength of roughly 2 lakh individuals. TCS has turned into the second-largest employer among listed companies after Coal India Limited.

It began as the "Tata Computer Centre", for the company Tata Group whose main business was to provide computer services to other group companies. F C Kohli was the first general manager. J. R. D. Tata was the first chairman, followed by Pankaj Roy. TCS established the first software research center in India, the Tata Research Development and Design Center, in Pune, India in 1981. TRDDC undertakes research in Software engineering,Process engineering and Systems Research.

The TCS story is one of modern India’s great success stories. In this fascinating book, S. Ramadorai, one of the country’s most respected business leaders, recounts the steps to that extraordinary success. The inside story of one of India’s premier corporate institutions, this is also in part a history of the rapidly developing IT software and services industry in India, told from the perspective of an industry leader.

"The TCS Story" is not a retired executive’s self-congratulatory autobiography based on selective amnesia. Rather, this is [a book] about a remarkable company that has been led by a remarkable team of executives who learned from their achievements and failures—so that success accelerated over time. Far more than an interesting story, this is a blueprint for how to build a successful company -- Clayton Christensen, Professor, Harvard Business School

Ramadorai played an integral role in the international development of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). His efforts have helped make TCS one of the world's largest global software and services companies with more than 143,000 consultants working in 42 countries, operating out of over 151 offices worldwide, and with revenues over US$ 6.0 billion . Ramadorai retired as CEO& MD of Tata Consultancy Services in 2009, after serving the company for thirty-nine years.
