Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on Friday dismissed reports that its Nashik facility has been temporarily shut down, asserting that the unit “continues to operate and serve clients” even as investigations intensify into the ongoing controversy.
The IT major has also initiated an independent probe into the matter concerning its Nashik facility, appointing external experts and implementing board-level oversight.
In an official statement, chief executive and managing director K Krithivasan said the company has engaged Deloitte and law firm Trilegal as independent counsel to support an internal investigation led by president and COO Aarthi Subramanian.
TCS has also set up a committee chaired by independent director Keki Mistry, which will review the findings of the internal probe and guide the implementation of any recommendations.

The company directly addressed what it termed “incorrect reporting” around individuals linked to the case. It said that Nida Khan, whose name has been widely cited in media reports as an HR manager, “is neither an HR manager nor responsible for recruitment,” and was a process associate without leadership responsibilities.
Krithivasan asserted that preliminary findings do not substantiate several allegations reported in the media.
“While detailed reviews are still underway, a preliminary review of the systems and records pertaining to the Nashik unit indicates that we have not received any complaints as are being alleged, on either our ethics or POSH channels,” Krithivasan said in a statement.
