TCS Maitree

TCS Maitree was started to bring TCS associates and their families closer together and help them feel like an extended family. It was later expanded to include social activities and initiatives to continue the TATA tradition of helping the community. Maitree provides employees opportunities to learn new skills, build relationships beyond work to make the workplace more fun, and participate in social causes like helping underprivileged children and the differently-abled. Some successful Maitree programs around HIV/AIDS awareness and green initiatives have now been adopted as best practices more widely in the organization.

TCS Maitree

Maitree was started with an objective of bringing TCS associates and their families closer and making them feel a part of the TCS extended family. Soon after, with a view to carry on the TATA tradition of enabling the community, the scope of Maitree was enhanced to include socially relevant activities and endeavors.

Maitree and the TCS Community


Even while at work, you're never away from life. TCS-Maitree was established with an intention to strengthen the bond between TCS employees and their families, as well as provide a platform to encourage hidden aspirations and talents. It lends a deeper and broader dimension to the work culture at TCS. Over the years, Maitree has become a part of every TCS employee's life. From cracking quizzes to conquering tall peaks, from shaking a leg to bending it like Beckham, employees have reveled in the excitement and fun of all Maitree events. And that's not all. Workshops on theatre, yoga, origami, flower arrangement, chocolate making, and a host of others have allowed the employees to learn and know about things they always wanted to. All in all, Maitree provides everyone at TCS the opportunity to establish relationships that extend beyond work and thereby, help build bonds that makes work so much more fun.

Maitree - Even beyond the TCS Community


In addition to working towards bringing our associates and their families closer, Maitree also strives to enable the development of the society. Our approach to social initiatives entails being pro-actively involved and working at the root level. Some of the projects we have undertaken include working with the differently-abled, aiding under-privileged children across various schools in Mumbai, and helping rural community in Vazapur, among others. Many programs initiated by Maitree, like employment opportunities for the differently-abled, HIV/AIDS sensitization, peer education, Green Audits to check the excess consumption of energy resources have now been accepted as best practices by the organization.

HIV AIDS awareness program


TCS-Maitree initiated TCS first steps in the area of HIV/AIDS Sensitization and Awareness a few years ago. The focus of the initiative is to treat HIV as a social issue, as against treating it as

a solely medical prerogative. Associates across TCS are participating in TCS-Maitree's aim to spread awareness and sensitize people about HIV/AIDS.

The highlights of this initiative are:

Commemorating World AIDS Day Red Ribbon distribution at all offices Online Quiz for creating more awareness Removing myths and misconceptions through articles Peer Educator Program - Communicating with associates in their own language, through their 'peers'
