AI Becomes the Partnership’s Strategic Focus

A major element of the TCS Porsche partnership is the creation of an AI Mobility Centre of Excellence dedicated to Porsche. The center will support the deployment of AI across manufacturing, engineering, operations and customer experience while helping develop next-generation automotive technology and software-defined mobility solutions.

TCS CEO and Managing Director K. Krithivasan said the partnership would help industrialize AI at scale across Porsche’s value chain. Porsche CEO Michael Leiters said the transaction would combine Porsche’s automotive expertise with TCS’s digital technology and AI capabilities.

MHP Acquisition Strengthens Automotive Consulting

The MHP acquisition also gives TCS access to specialized automotive consulting capabilities and an established European customer base. MHP generated €742 million in revenue in 2025, compared with €830 million in 2024 and €828 million in 2023. Its expertise is expected to complement TCS’s technology, engineering and AI capabilities as automotive companies accelerate digital transformation.

The deal requires approval from the European Commission under EU merger control and foreign subsidies rules, alongside applicable foreign investment approvals in relevant countries. For TCS, the transaction represents a significant step toward expanding its Germany management consulting operations while deepening its role in Europe’s automotive technology ecosystem.
