The renewal of the contract is considered to improve the profile of Rajesh Gopinathan who became chief executive officer of TCS back in February 2017, post N Chandrashekaran was recruited as Chairman of Tata Sons Ltd- the holding company of the group.

Meanwhile, Nielsen stated that the contract period of the agreement has been extended for five more years, so that will end on December 31, 2025, with three one-year renewal options granted to Nielsen. TCS will offer professional services related to information technology, business process outsourcing, client service knowledge process outsourcing, management sciences, and financial planning globally to Nielsen.
