TCS Patna Plan: Tata Consultancy Services to start 'major' centre in Bihar capital

TCS Patna Plan: Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has announced that India's largest IT company, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), is set to start a major centre in Patna. The Union IT minister, who also holds Communications and Electronics portfolio, made the announcement on his twitter handle after meeting Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran in New Delhi. Prasad tweeted on Saturday, "Chairman of Tata Sons Shri N Chandrasekaran met me today. We had an enriching discussion on India's digital future. I am delighted that soon TCS is starting a major centre in Patna. Investment by India's largest IT company in Bihar should promote IT investments in the state." 

The TCS move is likely to attract other IT companies to set up their centres in the state, said Prasad. 

A statement issued by Prasad's office said, both Prasad and Chandrasekaran discussed various issues relating to India's digital sector and exchanged new ideas shaping a brighter digital future for the country.
