In another related development to the company, Tata Consultancy Services recently asked its employees to actively use artificial intelligence tools to deliver work faster and at lower cost, even if it impacts the company's short-term revenue, a report by IANS said.

Speaking at the Nasscom Technology and Leadership Forum in Mumbai, TCS CEO K Krithivasan said the company is encouraging associates to inform clients if tasks can be done quicker and cheaper using AI, even if that leads to revenue cannibalisation.
