The company’s total employee base stood at 584,519 at the end of FY26, compared with 582,163 at the end of Q3 FY26, implying a net addition of over 2,350 employees during the quarter.
This follows a net reduction of 11,151 employees in the December quarter, when TCS had undertaken workforce restructuring and role realignment.
Attrition during the quarter inched up to 13.7%, compared with 13.5% in the previous quarter. TCS said women now account for 35.2% of its total workforce.
For the full year, TCS reported 69 million learning hours, up 23% year-on-year, and over 5.2 million competencies acquired, underscoring its focus on talent development.
Chief HR Officer Sudeep Kunnumal said the company continued to invest in a future-ready workforce, with strong additions across experienced professionals and campus hires. He added that building an AI-first culture remains a key priority, with over 270,000 employees gaining higher proficiency in AI and machine learning skills during FY26.
The company had earlier indicated that headcount had declined by over 30,000 employees since the start of FY26, following a restructuring programme, and had outlined plans to reduce its workforce by around 2% during the year, primarily impacting middle and senior management.
On the financial front, TCS reported a 5.4% sequential rise in revenue to ₹70,698 crore, while net profit grew 28.7% to ₹13,718 crore. Constant currency revenue growth came in at 1.2%, ahead of estimates, marking the strongest growth in seven quarters.
The company also announced a dividend of ₹31 per share, subject to shareholder approval. CEO K Krithivasan said the company delivered its third consecutive quarter of sequential growth, supported by strong deal wins and sustained client demand despite macroeconomic headwinds.
