Tata Consultancy Services has created a second standalone software brand, Jile, for its agile software development platform, on the heels of its first AI-product Ignio, as the India’s largest IT services company bets on home-grown products to diversify its portfolio.
“As we look into the future, TCS is likely to both have a software line sold independently from its services as well as coming to market with integrated platform and service models,” Peter Bendor-Samuel, CEO of IT consultancy Everest Research, told ET. “The significant challenge for TCS lies in its aspiration to become a major software house as this will require a different business model, which will likely conflict with its services models”.
