TCS CEO and MD K Krithivasan believes that while AI is shaping how work is done, its sustainability will be decided by “how effectively organisations enable people to work alongside intelligent systems.”
Therefore, he added, “By combining TCS’ strengths in contextual AI, cloud transformation, and large-scale enterprise delivery with Pearson’s leadership in learning and assessment, we will help organisations develop workforces for the future.”
As part of the collaboration, the two companies will work on integrating learning and assessment into enterprise workflows, co-developing AI-led learning products, and strengthening early-career and workforce development programmes.
Pearson CEO Omar Abbosh said the partnership will “help organisations close skills gaps by bringing learning into the flow of work.” This, he added, would enable enterprises to deliver measurable productivity gains through AI-enabled learning.
TCS will also incorporate Pearson’s Versant English proficiency assessment into its hiring and training programmes to support communication and language skill development.
The companies said Pearson’s solutions will be integrated into the TCS iON platform to create an end-to-end digital learning ecosystem, helping enterprises and governments build scalable talent pipelines for the AI-driven economy.
