“Our participation in these sports sponsorships is specifically designed to expand TCS’ overall brand message in the U.S. market,” said John Lenzen, global head of marketing for TCS. “Over half of TCS’ business comes from the U.S. Enhancing our brand footprint in this key market is vital for our business and this sponsorship supports our broader initiatives to enhance the impact that TCS has on the communities we serve, our employees and our clients.”

The company’s engagement with these community-led initiatives reinforces that principle and allows TCS to further promote good health and personal wellbeing internally among employees and also within the communities that the company serves. As part of these sponsorships, TCS will actively engage in raising awareness of diabetes, a major health issue in the US, India and many other countries around the world.
