Chandrasekaran, who has led major investments in semiconductors, electric vehicle batteries, and Air India, will continue steering the group’s transformation. TCS will present an AI strategy to address market concerns. The group’s market cap reached Rs 24.39 lakh crore, with Rs 5.5 lakh crore invested over five years.
