TCS has launched the Consumer Business Group (CBG) Gemini Experience Centre (GEC) in Kolkata. The centre will showcase AI-led innovations tailored for consumer business needs and built with Google Cloud and Google’s Gemini models.

With the launch of the CBG GEC in Kolkata, TCS now operates three Gemini Experience Centres in India. These include the Retail GEC at the Chennai Retail Innovation Lab and the BFSI GEC at the Bengaluru BFSI Innovation Lab, each designed to serve industry-specific innovation and transformation needs.

By the end of 2026, TCS plans to establish a total of 10 GECs globally, including four in India. This expansion further strengthens TCS’ global innovation footprint and underscores its strategic focus on partnering with hyperscalers to help enterprises navigate the next phase of AI-enabled transformation.

Shivir Chordia, Director, Partnerships, India, Google Cloud said, “Together with TCS, we are seeing how differentiated industry solutions built with Gemini are helping customers realize business value faster. The launch of the Gemini Experience Center in Kolkata marks a crucial step in accelerating agentic AI adoption, empowering consumer businesses to co-create, test, and scale next-generation innovations.”

Murali Ramanathan, CTO, Consumer Business Group, TCS said, “Our collaboration with Google Cloud has consistently focused on translating AI and next-generation tech into real business value. The Gemini Experience Centre in Kolkata extends this collaboration by providing a dedicated environment for consumer businesses to co-create, test, and scale AI-led offerings. It reflects our commitment to empower enterprises around the world to unlock the full-potential of AI-led transformation and help them move from pilots to enterprise-scale adoption.”

AI adoption in consumer businesses has progressed from building prototypes to production-grade solutions. The CBG GEC in Kolkata will play a critical role in helping enterprises transform their business using the TCS Human+AI Autonomy model. It will enable organisations to co-create solutions built with Gemini, addressing evolving needs across retail, consumer packaged goods (CPG), and travel, tourism and hospitality (TTH) sectors.

This centre will act as an innovation hub where customers will be able to experience agentic-AI enabled innovations through immersive demos and co-innovation workshops. It will enable industry leaders and partners to showcase offerings that enhance digital experiences, strengthen operations, and accelerate time-to-market across consumer businesses. TCS will leverage its deep sectoral domain expertise, forward deployed engineering, and Gemini’s strengths, to help organizations accelerate transformation across customer engagement, operations, and commerce using agentic AI-enabled architectures.
