Technology companies in India, long used to being outsourcing options for Western markets, particularly the US, have consequently had to change their game and adopt digital offerings rapidly to survive and grow.

Our cover story this month tells you how India’s biggest infotech firm Tata Consultancy Services , the jewel in the Tata crown, is undergoing a similar transformation driven mainly by the need of its clients for the latest in digital solutions.

As part of an exclusive interaction, current CEO and managing director Rajesh Gopinathan told deputy editor T. Surendar, the author of the story that TCS has fundamentally changed itself over the past two-three years. And clients are liking what they see.
