According to Wikipedia, TCS was established in 1968 as Tata Computer Systems. F. C. Kohli, who joined at the request of J. R. D. Tata to help set up the company, became its first chief executive and led it until 1996. N.

Krithivasan is chief executive officer and managing director, and Aarthi Subramanian is an executive director, president and chief operating officer.
TechScoop's June 2026 coverage of the startup Hang Ten groups TCS with Infosys and Wipro as large IT services firms whose growth tends to scale with headcount. TCS itself said in April 2026 that its annualised revenue from artificial intelligence services had passed 2.3 billion dollars, a statement attributed to its chief operating officer.
Wikipedia lists TCS acquisitions including CMC in October 2001, Tata Infotech in February 2006, Citigroup Global Services in December 2008, the French firm Alti in April 2013, the American consultancy BridgePoint Group in November 2018 and Postbank Systems in Germany in November 2020.
