Mumbai, 25 August (APAC Media): Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced a strategic partnership with Porsche AG to accelerate the adoption of AI across the automaker’s mobility value chain.
Backed by a five-year strategic deal, the partnership will focus on applying AI across manufacturing, engineering, operations, and customer experience.
Dedicated AI Mobility Centre of Excellence
As part of the agreement, TCS will establish a dedicated AI Mobility Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Porsche. The centre will focus on turning AI concepts into secure, scalable, and business-oriented solutions for the automotive sector.
The CoE will support initiatives such as intelligent manufacturing and operations, engineering, and customer experience. By combining Porsche’s automotive engineering expertise and brand capabilities with TCS’ strengths in AI, product engineering, technology and business transformation, the two companies aim to accelerate the industrialisation of AI across Porsche’s product and value chain.
TCS CEO and Managing Director K. Krithivasan said the partnership would bring together TCS’ capabilities in AI, engineering, and technology with MHP’s automotive consulting expertise to help Porsche scale AI and develop intelligent, software-defined mobility experiences.
TCS to Acquire Porsche Subsidiary MHP
A key element of the partnership is TCS’ proposed acquisition, through its subsidiary, of 100% of MHP Management- und IT-Beratung GmbH, Porsche’s Germany-based management and IT consulting subsidiary. The proposed transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals.
Strengthening Long-Term Automotive Growth
The five-year strategic deal is designed to create a long-term platform for AI transformation and business value across Porsche’s organisation and wider mobility ecosystem.
Porsche CEO Dr. Michael Leiters said the transfer of MHP to TCS would allow Porsche to focus more closely on its core business while gaining a strategic technology partner. He highlighted the potential to combine Porsche’s automotive expertise with TCS’ digital and AI capabilities to improve innovation, efficiency, and competitiveness.
