Not just juniors and mid-level employees, but even senior employees saw their average learning hours increase in FY24, the IT bellwether disclosed in its annual report for FY24.

The development comes close on the heels of TCS doubling its generative AI projects pipeline to $900 million. Interestingly, senior female employees have been putting in more hours to learn than their male counterparts for the last four years, as per the annual report.

While junior male employees at TCS clocked an average of 126 learning hours last fiscal, female junior employees clocked an average of 115 learning hours in the same period. In the case of middle level employees, male and female spent 57 and 51 hours, respectively. And in the senior level, male employees and female employees clocked 49 and 54 learning hours, respectively.

TCS also continued its focus on leveraging internal talent through upskilling and cross-skilling for growth opportunities. In FY24, 33% of job requirements were fulfilled through grooming its internal talent.
