Major Indian IT firms like TCS and Wipro recently announced their financial numbers for Q3FY26 and since then they have been trending on Google Trends. With the impact of new labour codes, AI-led transformation and lay-offs, these companies have been trending as they declared their revenue guidance, dividend payouts and some major order wins. Here are the four most searched companies for last week in the Indian business sector.
TCS
Tata Consultancy Services was up and trending as the IT major reported a 14% YoY decline in its net profit at Rs 10,657 crore as compared to Rs 12,380 crore reported in the same quarter last year. The company’s numbers were impacted due to the implementation of new labour codes and restructuring expenses. TCS’s employee headcount also saw a dip of 11,151 for the December quarter.
The Tata Group company is also rapidly expanding its footprint in the AI sector, as its annualised AI services revenue registered a QoQ growth of over 17%, reaching $1.8 billion in constant currency terms.
Additionally, the company’s board has announced a dividend of Rs 57 per share, of which Rs 46 would be paid as a special dividend. Eligible shareholders will receive the dividend on February 3.
Infosys
This Indian IT player, too, reported a YoY decline of over 2% in its consolidated net profit at Rs 6,654 crore. On a sequential basis, the company’s bottom line fell sharply by nearly 10%. Taking in the impact of the new labour codes, the company incurred a one-time exceptional charge of Rs 1,289 crore.

The company also heavily emphasised the importance of AI for its growth, adding that utilisation of AI helped expand the company’s network across global locations.
The company will turn ex-date on January 27, for a dividend of Rs 6 per share, which will be paid to eligible shareholders on February 14. This dividend payout will take Wipro’s total payout for the year to $1.3 billion, said Aparna Iyer, Chief Financial Officer of Wipro.
