Book Review - The TCS Story


A definitive guide not just on how India's largest IT company TCS was built starting from the mid sixties but also about the early days of the IT industry, the challenges it faced and how the leadership overcame these challenges. 

The book also highlights the vision the Tata Group in general has about the future, about business and its role In society and how the company is committed to performing it's roles be it on the corporate side as a responsible profit making business or as a committed citizen to the overall development of society around it.

Former CEO Ram has outlined the various milestones the company has been through in the last many decades right from buying it's first mainframe, winning a big order from major Swiss bank, delivering software for national stock exchange NSE in India, reaching it first billion dollar sales target, becoming one of the top ten IT companies in the world to listing it's shares on the Indian stock exchange exchange and making it the most valuable Indian IT company on the stock exchange.

All in all a good read about how a nascent industry took birth in India and scaled to great heights in the decades to come by.
