Tata Consultancy Services Limited (TCS) has officially announced the successful completion of its acquisition of Coastal Cloud Holdings, LLC, effective from 14 January 2026.

The move, which sees TCS taking a 100% equity interest in the firm and its subsidiaries, is a strategic play to bolster the company’s presence in high-growth sectors.

A Multi-Tiered Deal Structure The acquisition was executed through a sophisticated structural arrangement. 86% of the equity was secured via the merger of Trident LE, LLC ( an indirect subsidiary of TCS) into Coastal Cloud, with the latter continuing as the surviving entity.

The remaining 14% was acquired by TCS North America Corporation through the purchase of SCP V-B Blocker III LLC, an entity specifically formed to hold that minority stake.

Financial Performance and Strategic Rationale Coastal Cloud is a significant player in the Advisory, AI services, and IT Enabled Services sectors.

The company has shown steady financial growth, reporting a turnover of USD 132 million in CY24, which rose to USD 141 million for the twelve months ending September 2025.

By integrating Coastal Cloud’s operations, TCS brings three subsidiaries in the USA and one in Canada into its fold. According to the sources, the primary rationale behind this merger is to rationalise the group structure of the company while expanding its service portfolio in the North American market.

TCS has explicitly stated that the transaction does not fall under related party transactions, nor does the promoter group have any interest in the acquired entities.

Looking Ahead As the acquisition is now complete, Coastal Cloud’s expertise in AI and advisory services is expected to be a key driver for TCS as it continues to refine its global service offerings.

This development was previously signaled to the markets in December 2025 and has now reached its full fruition.

This document was signed by Yashaswin Sheth, Company Secretary of Tata Consultancy Services Limited. The disclosure was made pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
