About Tesco Business Solutions (TBS) / Tesco Technology

"Tesco PLC established its India GCC in 2004 as Tesco Hindustan Service Centre, later renamed Tesco Bengaluru, operating as Tesco Business Solutions. Headquartered in Welwyn Garden City, UK, Tesco is one of the world's largest retailers with £67.67 billion in revenue and over 340,000 employees globally. The Bengaluru centre, with 5,000+ employees, designs technology products and platforms, manages finance and retail operations, and runs supply chain services for Tesco's 4,500+ stores worldwide.

The GCC functions as a value creator delivering technology innovation across software engineering, data analytics, and retail operations. The centre builds products using Java, Python, JavaScript, React, and Node.js on cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, and GCP. Tesco Bengaluru has won the SSON World Best GBS Award twice in three years and recently launched a GCC Leadership Circle with KPMG to shape the future of global capability centres, reflecting its mature operating model and industry influence.

Tesco's India operations are expanding significantly with plans to grow beyond 5,000 employees and enter the B2B market by helping other retailers set up capability centres in India. The centre maintains strong diversity metrics with 32% women in leadership and active community engagement programs. With a track record of over two decades in India, Tesco Bengaluru stands as one of the most established and respected GCCs in the country's retail technology landscape."
