TCS’s global head of IT infrastructure succumbs to massive heart attack at 53

Global head of IT Infrastructure Services at TCS, Amit Jain died of a massive heart attack a couple of days ago. He was 53.

Sources said, Jain succumbed to the heart attack in the middle of a presentation to a senior executive of TCS. They said, the pressure of enabling the offshore delivery centre for ‘Work From Home’ in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak in the country, combined with sheer exhaustion for not having slept for an entire week, were the major reasons for his massive heart attack.

Denying the messages about the reason for his younger brother’s death floating around in social media, Mukul Jain said “My brother had a cardiac arrest at 3.30pm on March 17th and was rushed to Hiranandani hospital near his workplace. The junior doctors were unable to revive Amit with CPR and by the time the seasoned cardiologists attended to him, it was too late, he went into a coma and passed away on March 19th. Through all of this TCS went out of the way to ensure that Amit gets the best possible treatment and solace at this time of stress.”
