05 Mar 2026 CW Team

GitLab's vice-president of global ecosystems noted that TCS brings industry experience and global scale necessary to maximise the value of the Duo Agent Platform, and TCS's head of AI practice said the alliance seeks to make AI real for enterprises by introducing AI-native DevSecOps capabilities. The platform provides agentic chat, foundational agents prebuilt by GitLab experts, custom agents to automate complex development tasks, external agent integration with leading AI tools, and governance and security controls. TCS will develop industry-specific AI workflow templates and pre-built agents to accelerate time-to-value.

The partnership will also modernise legacy development practices and help consolidate fragmented tool chains to reduce complexity while improving visibility, security, and compliance across the SDLC. It will support large-scale migrations and transformations for global enterprises with complex multi-team environments and is expected to benefit telecommunications, media, banking, retail, manufacturing, healthcare, and public sector organisations needing rapid rollout of services and AI-driven customer experiences at scale. TCS will combine proven methodologies with GitLab's scalable architecture to create seamless automated workflows from planning to production.

TCS will offer assessments, migration roadmaps, custom agent development, industry accelerators, managed platform services, and Centres of Excellence for enablement, change management, and enterprise support. GitLab reports more than 50 million (50 mn) registered users and more than 50 per cent of the Fortune 100 trust the platform to ship secure software faster. TCS operates across 55 countries and 202 service delivery centres and reported consolidated revenues of over US $30 billion (US $30 bn) in the fiscal year ended 31 March 2025.

Tata Consultancy Services has partnered with GitLab to deploy intelligent orchestration and agentic artificial intelligence automation to accelerate software innovation at scale across the software development lifecycle. The collaboration will combine TCS's AI-led enterprise transformation capabilities with GitLab's pre-built AI agents and orchestration features to help customers accelerate software delivery, enhance security, and maintain governance and guardrails. The partners will implement the GitLab Duo Agent Platform to orchestrate AI agents in the full context of organisations' standards and workflows.
