Value Creation Model for Customers: The company's customer-centric, industry-aligned organisational
structure has resulted in substantial domain depth for every business unit, as well as enormous customer-
specific contextual expertise for the account teams inside those units. Domain expertise, domain consulting,
contextual knowledge, project management experience, and technical competence gained on the job constitute
the transformation of human capital into intellectual capital. TCS invests some of its intellectual resources in
research and innovation (R&I), which looks at how newer technology might be creatively applied to solve
business problems in a range of industries. TCS collaborates with well-known technology companies, start-

ups, and academic researchers to tap into their intellectual capital and create solutions that complement their
own. Some of R&I's breakthrough software solutions that are deemed to have a significant market potential
are productized, adding to TCS' extensive product and platform portfolio. These increase the organization's
intellectual capital, generate new revenue sources, and improve the organization's brand posture (relationship
capital).
TCS' strategy, organisational structure, and investment decisions are all centred on the customer. TCS'
customer-centric perspective enables the company to identify trends early, capitalise on economic
opportunities by making the proper investments, and mitigate risks while meeting its ethical and
environmental obligations. TCS is constantly seeking for new areas in their value chain where it can offer
value, proactively investing in establishing fresh skills, reskilling its employees, and releasing newer services,
solutions, products, and platforms in order to widen and deepen client relationships. TCS is now profiting
from the departmental budgets of various stakeholders within the clients' companies, including business heads,
CMOs, CROs, COOs, CFOs, and even CEOs, in addition to IT expenditures. As indicated by the client KPIs
published every quarter and year, this has not only integrated TCS deeper into their operations, but has also
resulted in higher quality revenues, stronger revenue growth, and more share of wallet. Products and platforms,
in combination with business model changes, constitute new, high-quality income streams that are rapidly
expanding. This strategy has yielded deep and long-lasting client relationships, as well as a continual
expansion of the addressable market.
Value Creation Model for the Firm: Human capital, which represents talent and innovation, is at the heart
of TCS' value generating engine. TCS hugely invests in upskilling individuals with the latest technology in
the market and provides them with career paths that matches their aspirations by acquiring the best available
talent in each market it serves, providing a supportive and vibrant workplace in which to engage that talent.
Over the previous five decades, TCS has successfully navigated through many technological cycles, pivoting
and adapting each time to establish relevant new capabilities by reskilling the workforce at scale and aiding
clients in the process realising the benefits of emerging technologies, thanks to a strong belief in organic talent
development and investing in people. Even the largest supplier has a mid-single digit market share, indicating
that the global market for IT services is highly fragmented. TCS is one of the major IT services companies in
the world, with a market share of 1.6 percent. Over the previous decade, TCS has outpaced the market,
increasing at twice the rate of the market.
On a consolidated basis, the revenue for FY 2021 was Rs.164,177 crore, higher by 4.6 percent over the
previous year’s revenue of Rs.156,949 crore. The profit after tax (PAT) attributable to shareholders and non-
controlling interests for FY 2021 Rs.33,520 crore and Rs.32,447 crore, respectively. The profit after tax (PAT)
attributable to shareholders for FY 202 was Rs.33,388 crore. TCS grew at the rate of 4.4 times over the last
decade. The operating margin of TCS is at 25.9% which is industry leading. TCS has also invested in funds
with a value of Rs. 50,430 crores which can be harnessed during distress. TCS has a 116.2% operating cash
flow to Net Income ratio. TCS also has a 101.5% shareholder pay-out to net income ratio. TCS has a market
capitalisation of $200 billion. TCS has the best-in-class profitability and a strong balance sheet provides
greater ability to invest in newer capabilities and to weather economic downturns. Its consistent high
dividends/stakeholders return enhances relationship capital.
