Incoming TCS CEO K Krithivasan may spend first year meeting customers

Incoming Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) CEO K Krithivasan has been mandated to focus on customers, arrest attrition and make the $28 billion IT company an employer of choice in a challenging global business scenario, said highly placed executives close to the development.

The CEO may spend much of the next six months on the road, meeting customers as he settles into the role. That will help him execute the customer-centricity task set by the TCS board headed by N Chandrasekaran, who’s also Tata Sons chairman.
