Accenture is also the strongest IT services brand globally for the second consecutive year. It scored 90.7 out of 100 on the Brand Strength Index and received an AAA+ rating, the highest possible rating given by Brand Finance.

In second place is Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), with a brand value of USD 21.2 billion, a position it has held for the fifth straight year. In FY 2025, TCS crossed nearly USD 30 billion in annual revenue, confirming its status as one of the largest IT services companies in the world. Its growth has been largely driven by AI, cloud services, and cybersecurity, supported by new AI labs, centres of excellence, and delivery centres.

TCS has also strengthened its brand through its marathon sponsorships around the world. By partnering with major events such as the New York City, London, Boston, Chicago, and Sydney marathons, the company has gained high visibility in key global markets. These partnerships have helped build trust, awareness, and a unique image that connects technology with health, community, and long-term impact.

Infosys remains the world’s third most valuable IT services brand, with a brand value of USD 16.4 billion. It is also the fastest-growing IT services brand over the past six years, recording a strong 15 per cent compound annual growth rate during this period.

Cognizant ranks seventh, with its brand value also up 6 per cent to USD 9.6 billion.

These companies have seen some of the strongest brand value growth within the top 10 since 2025, showing how important strong engineering skills and data expertise are in today’s IT services industry.
