"The part that we have to do is to provide the change in the paperwork that is required by the companies to go through in order to establish themselves – so lot of necessary paper work, but unnecessary cumbersome," Honda told PTI after inaugurating the new TCS facility.
On establishment of facility in the Silicon Valley, TCS Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director N Chandrasekaran said, "Silicon Valley is a perfect place for this new TCS customer collaboration centre, given the match between the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit of TCS and that of the Valley."
"The convergence of the innovation in the Valley with the highly scalable, high quality and cost-effective engineering strength of TCS will help jumpstart the powerful new phenomenon of the democratisation of innovation," he said.
