- He attributed an overall decline of about 20,000 employees, or roughly 3%, to a mix of voluntary and involuntary attrition.
- Kunnumal said TCS will seek to redeploy trained employees and will release those who cannot be placed.
- Pressed on whether involuntary exits would end at 1%, he said they would not, reiterating the 2% estimate.
- Addressing new U.S. H‑1B rules, he noted TCS has localized its U.S. workforce with about 500 H‑1B travelers and expects its model to adapt quickly.
