W12 Studios
2018
Why
TCS acquired London-based digital design studio W12 Studios on November 1, 2018, its first acquisition since 2013, to add digital design and customer-experience capability.
Impact
Supported TCS Interactive and digital-transformation work for clients. TCS has historically preferred organic growth and large-scale hiring over acquisitions to build capacity, making even its modest M&A activity noteworthy relative to peers that grew more through purchases.
Outcome
Became part of TCS' digital and design services offering. TCS relatively low reliance on acquisitions compared to global consulting peers is often cited as evidence of the strength of its organic training and delivery pipeline.
