From mission-critical networks to AI-ready platforms, Tata Communications helps enterprises move faster, operate more securely, and scale smarter. Over the past year, the company has made significant strides toward becoming a global leader in communications technology, ranging from cloud-first innovations to intelligent networks, immersive media solutions, and sustainable connectivity.

Key elements that define Tata Communications’ approach:
Tata Communications has shown strong growth and profitability:
Growth drivers include:
Data now represents 84% of total revenue, and the digital portfolio constitutes 47%, growing at a 21.4% CAGR since FY19–20.
Tata Communications recently introduced Tata Communications Vayu, an AI-powered cloud infrastructure built to transform enterprise IT. Vayu provides a unified, purpose-driven architecture that addresses rising cloud costs, complex multi-cloud environments, and growing AI infrastructure needs.
Strategic moves include portfolio realignment, monetizing Ambattur land, and divesting non-core assets (Payments, NetFoundry) to focus on higher-margin digital opportunities. Integrations with Kaleyra and The Switch are reaching critical synergy points, with a diversified order book including 290 “million-dollar club” customers and 16 new additions this year.
Tata Communications provides an integrated Network as a Service through IZO™ Multi Cloud Connect and IZO™ Multi Cloud Network, enabling seamless multi-cloud connectivity within enterprise architectures. Additional offerings include UCaaS across global Multi-Cloud (Rapide) and the World Athletics 2025–2029 production partnership.
The company’s commitment to Net Zero 2035 is on track:
CSR efforts have benefited 800,000+ people, with 101,533 volunteer hours. Employee metrics are equally strong: NPS of 82, 13,047 employees, and 25.5% women in junior management, reflecting customer trust and inclusive growth.
Not just pipes, platforms. Not just services, results. Tata Communications is the quiet force behind experiences customers expect and enterprises depend on.
The question now is: Which lever will shift the needle fastest in FY25–26, AI-powered cloud infrastructure, SASE at scale, or IoT platforms integrated with private 5G?
