Global telecom backbone and enterprise network/cloud/security platform
Tata Communications operates a critical internet backbone (routing ~30% of global routes) while building managed network, cloud, and security services for enterprise customers. The tech stack is heavily Cisco-dependent (15+ Cisco products across routing, switching, SD-WAN, and security) with infrastructure tools (Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes) and emerging zero-trust adoption (Zscaler, Palo Alto Networks). The hiring shape reflects scaling ops and security faster than sales — 99 ops and 56 security roles against 48 sales — signaling a shift from pure connectivity toward managed services and compliance-heavy operations.
