The nation’s largest software services company, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), announced that it has reached an agreement with GE to transfer its stake in a joint venture.
TCS said: “After completing the corporate and government changes necessary to effect this transition, TCS will assume full responsibility for the women’s center, ensure its long-term viability, and continue to serve as a source of skills development opportunities for rural women.”
“In light of GE’s proposed exit from this partnership, the partners have reached a definitive agreement that will be subject to the closing conditions for the transfer of GE’s stake in the company to TCS,” it added.
In 2013, TCS founded the first women-only business process service center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in cooperation with GE.
