Mumbai: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India's largest software services exporter, Friday announced plans to open a wholly owned subsidiary in South Africa. "We see South Africa as a key strategic market for TCS and also as a gateway to southern and central Africa. Through our own subsidiary, we will be well-placed to contribute to the economic growth of the country and its businesses by bringing in global best-practices and world-class technology solutions," S. Ramadorai, chief executive officer and managing director of TCS, said in a statement.
