Tata Consultancy Services sees German path to European goal
The Economic Times — October 2, 2007

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) of India wants to use Germany as a base to become one of the top 10 IT companies in Europe, vice-chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran said on Tuesday.

"We have three priorities in Europe," Chandrasekaran told a newspaper, "Germany, Germany, Germany."

Starting with the biggest European market, TCS planned to expand across the continent, he added.

"We want to be among the top 10 suppliers of Information Technology services in Europe," Chandrasekaran said, without identifying a time frame.

The biggest Indian IT company, part of the sprawling Tata conglomerate, has sales of just 100 million euros (142 million dollars) per year in Germany at present, the newspaper said.

Its parent Group is known in Europe for the takover early this year of the Anglo-Dutch steel group Corus.
