Tata Global Beverages (TGBL) has moved some of its operations such as global information systems, HR, finance and commercial in various regions including India, the UK and US, Canada and Australia to the managed services of Tata Consultancy Services in Kolkata. The move is expected to free the company's business managers to concentrate on core activities, bring in agility and spur faster decision-making, as it seeks to become one of the largest FMCG companies in India with a possible merger with group firm Tata Chemicals. The transition process is expected to be completed by the end of 2018-19. "The transition will enable our business managers to wholly concentrate on core business activities, growth and expansion," a TGBL spokesperson said. "Growth and scale in domestic market are critical and a big focus for us," Tata Group chairman N Chandrasekaran had stated at the company's recent annual general meeting.
