Why Global IT Services Are Rebalancing Delivery Hubs
As enterprises accelerate digital transformation while managing cost pressures, global IT services firms are expanding delivery capacity closer to key growth markets. Latin America is emerging as a strategic nearshore hub, offering talent availability, time-zone alignment with the US, and growing demand for digital services.
What TCS Has Announced
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) will invest $37 million to set up its largest delivery centre in Brazil, a move expected to create around 1,600 jobs. The new facility will significantly expand TCS’s presence in Latin America and strengthen its global delivery network.
Details of the New Facility
The delivery centre will support a range of services, including cloud computing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and digital transformation solutions for global clients. Once operational, it will become TCS’s largest centre in Brazil, reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to the region.
Brazil is a key market for TCS, both as a client base and as a delivery location. The investment aligns with the company’s strategy to build distributed delivery centres that combine local talent with global scale.
Strategic Context for TCS
TCS has steadily expanded its Latin American footprint over the years, serving clients across banking, retail, manufacturing, and telecom. The new centre is expected to improve service responsiveness for clients in the Americas while also supporting global projects.
For Indian IT majors, such investments reduce overdependence on a single geography and help navigate geopolitical, regulatory, and talent-related risks. Nearshore expansion is increasingly viewed as essential to winning large, multi-year transformation deals.
Evergreen Insight: Nearshoring Is Becoming Core to IT Strategy
Global clients are prioritising resilience and speed over pure cost arbitrage. Delivery centres closer to end markets allow IT firms to offer greater collaboration, faster turnaround, and regulatory comfort.
Operator Takeaway
TCS’s Brazil expansion highlights a broader shift for Indian IT services companies: future growth will depend as much on global delivery diversification as on core engineering excellence.
