This will put TCS in the big league. Indian companies have typically stayed in the 50-200 million dollar range. This is sure to boost the Indian IT market and also shake up the world IT arena. IBM and Accenture can no longer take TCS – and other companies for granted. Suddenly, the battle is bigger.

In the next 2-3 years many contracts around the world in the MNCs will be renewed. This is when the shake up will occur big time. Winners and losers will be decided in the next 2-3 years.
