TCS Customer Newsletter
Dear Reader,
Celebrating our frontline staff and high achievers has been an integral part of the
corporate culture at TCS, and in the past few months we have honored in no
uncertain fashion the many TCS people whose blood, sweat and tears have gone
into creating unparalleled customer satisfaction for our valued clientele. Our cover
story fetes those with 25 years of service at TCS, as well as our CEO Saqib
Hamdani whose dynamism and enterprise have enthused the corporation with
vigor and vitality.
Chairman Khalid Awan responded to an invitation from the IBA’s Center for
Entrepreneurship Development, and we carry a report of the TCS team’s engagement
with the very sharp bright sparks being nurtured there.
The TCS ground fleet is the backbone of its operations. In acknowledgement of
this fact TCS has paid special attention to the drivers that keep the wheels of the
organization moving, quite literally. The TCS Drivers Day was a big success, and
TCS Fleet Solutions promises to blaze many a trail in organizing the largely chaotic
road transport sector in Pakistan. Muhammad Sohail is the man in the hot seat
here, and features in our HeadSpeak segment.
Our man in Multan, Ghias Bin Asghar the Sales Manager Multan, has earned his
stripes and we put him under the Spotlight. From across the TCS world we are
privileged to carry the interview of Tariq Alexander Qaiser, architect and interior
designer, responsible for giving the TCS Head Office a modern and sophisticated
feel.

We have had two exhilarating sessions with the illustrious Javed Jabbar, and the
learning and insights obtained from both were priceless, and these have been
captured in some detail within our pages. Talking with Ramiz Allawala on issues
regarding organizational development is always stimulating, and migrating the
management cadres from immaturity to maturity is the central theme of Ramiz’s
discourse these days, and it certainly makes for a whole lot of sense!
Also within our pages is a report on ‘Pukh Theory’ co-authored by Farhad Karamally
and Faraz Khan, a business parable that highlights in forceful fashion the need
for mentoring and succession planning. It has been published to rave reviews in
Pakistan and overseas, and has become the first Pakistani business parable to
be translated and published in the Dutch language. We also carry a report on the
Society for the Advancement of Health, Education and Environment (SAHEE) that
is implementing the Criminon program at the Karachi Central Jail, restoring the
prisoners’ self-respect which is central to rehabilitation.
