Seeta Hariharan to lead TCS' new Digital Software & Solutions Group Organizations in key sectors like Retail, Banking & Financial and Communications are finding themselves faced with a daunting task: adapt to the new digital environment or risk losing relevancy (and customers with it). Enter Tata Consulting Services' new Digital Software & Solutions Group, headed by TCS'er Seeta Hariharan, which offers expertise in delivering fully integrated, tailor-made solutions for clients as they find their way through this new business reality. Hariharan sat down with Consulting to talk pain points and solutions, and how a successful digital strategy can help drive serious revenue across multiple verticals.
Consulting: How did DS&S come to be?
Hariharan: I've been with TCS for 14 months. We've been in the professional services space for a very long time. We closed the last fiscal year with $11.6 billion in revenue. Our operating margins are greater than 29 percent. We have 300,000 employees. When I met with [TCS CEO Natarajan Chandrasekaran] last year, he talked about nonlinear growth being very important to him. He said "I want to grow TCS to $20 to $25 billion in revenue."
