Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced a strategic partnership with sports car maker Porsche AG of Germany to enable AI services across its mobility value chain, under which TCS will acquire 100% of MHP Management-und IT-Beratung GmbH (MHP), Porsche’s management and IT consulting subsidiary, for euro 320 million (around Rs 3,575 crore). To support this partnership, Porsche has signed a five-year strategic agreement with MHP and TCS valued at euro 1.25 billion (Rs 13,967 crore).
The partnership is reinforced by a five-year strategic deal from Porsche. As part of the deal, TCS will establish a dedicated AI Mobility Centre of Excellence for Porsche to drive innovation across manufacturing, engineering, operations and customer experience, TCS said.
“The proposed partnership and acquisition remain subject to regulatory approvals. MHP brings strong automotive and industrial consulting and implementation experience, with strengths in business transformation, AI, SAP, manufacturing digitalization, and connected mobility,” it said.
Its long-standing track record in delivering complex automotive and industrial transformation programs will complement TCS’ global scale and engineering prowess, TCS said.
K. Krithivasan, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, TCS, said, “TCS is pleased to partner Porsche in its transformation journey. As AI, software, and data redefine the automotive industry, this partnership brings together TCS’ capabilities in AI, engineering, technology and business transformation with MHP’s strong automotive consulting expertise.”
“Together, we will industrialize AI at scale for Porsche, accelerating innovation across the value chain to deliver intelligent, software-defined mobility experiences of the future.”
Michael Leiters, CEO, Porsche AG, said, “Porsche is taking another important step in its strategy to focus resolutely on its core business with the transfer of MHP to TCS. At the same time, we are gaining a strategic partner in TCS.”

AI transformation, market presence
This close collaboration will be structured around three core pillars. TCS will set up a dedicated AI Mobility Centre of Excellence (CoE) which will focus on industrializing use cases in several core technologies for the mobility sector. The CoE’s role will be to convert AI ideas into secure and scalable solutions that enhance velocity, operations resilience and competitiveness across Porsche’s product and value chain. TCS and Porsche will collaborate to embed AI across intelligent manufacturing and operations, engineering and customer experience, TCS said.
“The partnership will leverage Porsche’s world-class automotive engineering and brand experience along with TCS’ capabilities in AI, product engineering, technology and business transformation,” TCS said. TCS’ expertise provides a strong foundation to scale AI transformation and deliver business outcomes for Porsche’s organization and its mobility ecosystem.
The five-year business strategic deal between Porsche and TCS will enable a strong foundation to deliver these outcomes.
