The deal comes as AI disrupts traditional outsourcing models in India’s $315 billion IT industry, with clients pausing tech spends. MHP specializes in business consulting and software-defined mobility, and the acquisition is expected to close within three to four months, TCS said. The partnership aims to deploy AI across Porsche’s engineering, manufacturing, operations, and customer experience verticals.
Porsche, part of the Volkswagen group, faces pressure to cut costs amid competition from Chinese automakers and rising EV expenses. Earlier this year, Porsche sold stakes in Bugatti and Rimac and scrapped three subsidiaries, including its battery unit Cellforce and e-bike business, costing over 500 jobs.
Analyst Piyush Pandey at brokerage Centrum Broking noted that the deal will add to TCS’s revenue but have a neutral impact on stock performance. The acquisition is similar to previous deals by Wipro, where companies land and expand their capabilities.
