TCS and Financial Services

TCS has a strong financial services footprint, working with eight of the top 10 US Banking, Financial Services and Insurance institutions. The India-based company has 411,000 employees spread across 46 countries. The company's revenue rose 10 percent in terms of U.S. dollars for its Q2 fiscal 2019 compared to the same period the previous year, TCS disclosed in October 2018.

TCS also faced a key lawsuit in recent months, after it was accused of discriminating against American employees. But a jury sided with TCS in the case, as the Economic Times reports.
