TCS Nashik Case: Tata Consultancy Services has issued a detailed clarification following controversy surrounding its Nashik facility, announcing a structured internal investigation while pushing back against what it called inaccurate reporting on key aspects of the case.

The company confirmed that a formal inquiry is underway, alongside the formation of an independent oversight panel to ensure transparency. It also addressed confusion regarding an employee named in police complaints, even as law enforcement authorities continue efforts to trace an absconding suspect in Thane district.

TCS Nashik Row: Employee Role Clarified Amid Misinformation

A central point in TCS’s statement was the correction of widely circulated claims about Nida Khan. The company stated that she was employed as a process associate and not in a managerial capacity, contrary to reports identifying her as an HR manager.

According to TCS, Khan had no involvement in recruitment functions and did not hold a leadership role within the organisation, seeking to dispel speculation that had gained traction across platforms.

Three-Tier Probe Mechanism Put In Place

Managing Director and CEO K. Krithivasan outlined a multi-layered response framework to address the issue. The internal investigation is being spearheaded by President and COO Aarthi Subramanian, with external oversight from consulting firm Deloitte and law firm Trilegal.

Employees linked to the matter have been suspended pending the outcome of the probe. The company said findings will be reviewed by the oversight committee before any action is finalised, stressing that it moved quickly after becoming aware of the situation.

Operations Continue, Police Probe Intensifies

TCS also firmly denied reports suggesting its Nashik centre had shut down. “Our Nashik facility continues to function and serve clients. Reports suggesting a shutdown are completely inaccurate,” the company said.

"While detailed reviews are still underway, a preliminary review of the systems and records pertaining to the Nashik unit indicates that we have not received any complaints of the nature that are being alleged on either our ethics or POSH channels," it said.

Meanwhile, police investigations remain active. A team from the Nashik Crime Branch has travelled to Mumbra in Thane district in search of a woman accused in the case, which includes allegations of religious conversion and sexual harassment linked to the facility.

Reiterating its position, TCS emphasised a zero-tolerance approach to misconduct and assured cooperation with authorities. “TCS holds itself to the highest standards of institutional conduct. We remain dedicated to ensuring the safety, dignity, and well-being of every employee,” the statement said.
