Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has set-up a Japan-centric Delivery Centre (JDC), in Pune. The new centre, which augments delivery capabilities of TCS’ 2,400 strong Japan-based workforce, was established in July 2014 in joint venture with Mitsubishi Corporation as part of a strategic expansion in the Japan market, a press release said.
The JDC facilities will cater to specific business needs of Japanese corporations in alignment with their unique expectations and enabled by way of localisation of global business practices and enhanced language support.
As part of the JDC, the TCS Japan Hikari Academy has been established, featuring dedicated faculty to provide language training and cultural seminars for staff at multiple levels. A customised curriculum is also being developed in collaboration with universities from the area which boasts the largest student population for Japanese-language studies in India.
Speaking on the significance of the new Centre, CEO and MD, N Chandrasekaran said, “Our model brings out the best of our capabilities in Japan and leverages TCS’ global strengths.”
