TCS launches Workspace Experience Studio with Zscaler
New AI-powered solution targets $160Bn digital workspace market by 2030.
MUMBAI: TCS just turned the office into a workspace wonderland because when Zero Trust meets AI, even Monday mornings start feeling productive. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has launched TCS Workspace Experience Studio, engineered with Zscaler Digital Experience (ZDX), to deliver seamless, resilient, and proactive digital workspaces for global enterprises. The solution integrates Zero Trust security, advanced observability, and AI-powered experience analytics, shifting from traditional Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to Experience Level Agreements (XLAs) that prioritise user productivity and satisfaction.
The platform taps into the rapidly expanding digital workspace market, projected to surpass $160 billion by 2030, with an addressable opportunity exceeding $8 billion in the next five years. Powered by Zscaler OneAPI for integration and automation, it adds Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM), workplace observability, and enhanced cybersecurity capabilities to TCS’s Human-Centric AI portfolio.
Key features include auto-healing and auto-remediation to detect and fix issues across systems, applications, and infrastructure reducing downtime and manual intervention. The User Persona feature uses ZDX data for personalised insights and recommendations, easing user friction and boosting efficiency.
TCS has deployed the solution for a leading Scottish multinational engineering company, where it is projected to deliver a 25–30 per cent boost in user productivity and significantly improve digital experience.
Zscaler, SVP of global partner for ecosystems Anthony Torsiello said, “Together, we are empowering organisations to achieve tangible business results by delivering smarter, more resilient digital environments that enhance productivity, improve user experiences, and drive operational success.”
TCS global head of ITIS offerings & engineering for cloud unit Murali Menon added, “CIOs are prioritising AI infusion to transform workspace experiences, fostering greater collaboration and accelerating innovation. Our strategic partnership with Zscaler delivers enhanced user experiences and optimised application performance across diverse environments.”
In an era where hybrid work is the norm and downtime is the enemy, TCS and Zscaler aren’t just building better offices, they’re crafting digital spaces where employees actually want to log in, one intelligent fix at a time.

OpenAI’s Stargate lead Peter Hoeschele exits with two senior leaders
Trio behind compute push set to join new startup amid leadership reshuffle
SAN FRANCISCO: Peter Hoeschele, a key figure behind OpenAI’s early Stargate data centre initiative, has exited the company, according to a report by The Information.
The departure is part of a broader leadership shift, with two other senior executives, Shamez Hemani and Anuj Saharan, also set to leave in the coming days. All three are expected to join the same new startup, although details about the venture remain under wraps.
The trio played a central role in OpenAI’s Stargate effort, an initiative aimed at building large-scale data centre capacity in-house to reduce reliance on external infrastructure providers. Their exits mark a notable moment for the company’s compute strategy as it continues to scale rapidly.
OpenAI spokesperson said in a statement to The Information, “We’re grateful for the contributions Peter, Shamez, and Anuj have made to OpenAI and wish them the very best in what comes next.” The company also pointed to the recent appointment of Sachin Katti to lead its industrial compute organisation, signalling continuity in its infrastructure roadmap.
OpenAI has indicated that it does not plan to directly replace Hoeschele’s role, suggesting a possible restructuring of responsibilities within the team.
As competition intensifies in the race to build next-generation AI systems, leadership changes in core infrastructure teams are likely to draw close attention. For now, the spotlight shifts to what this departing trio builds next, and how OpenAI adapts as it scales its ambitions.
