TCS close to acquiring 2 firms

The $4.3 billion Indian IT services provider, Tata Consulting Service (TCS), is close to acquiring two IT firms in Latin America.

The estimated value of these two firms is around Rs 200 crore. TCS, with a considerable presence in Latin America, has completed due diligence of the targeted companies.

Sources close to the development said that TCS was looking at one business process outsourcing (BPO) company and an IT services company.

These companies have a headcount of nearly 100 each. These acquisitions would enable TCS to outsource various business activities at much lower cost compared with other international locations.

TCS announced some time ago that it was expanding operations in Latin America by setting up its first global delivery centre (GDC) at Guadalajara in Mexico.
