Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest IT services company, will acquire Coastal Cloud, a US-based Salesforce consulting and AI advisory firm, for $700 million in an all-cash deal. The deal is expected to close by January 31, 2026, after receiving the necessary regulatory approvals.
Coastal Cloud, founded in 2012, specializes in Salesforce consulting, multi-cloud integration, and AI-driven digital transformation. The firm employs around 400 Salesforce experts and recorded revenues of $132 million in 2024, growing to $141 million in the year ending September 2025. Coastal Cloud helps businesses across industries implement Salesforce solutions, improve customer experiences, and leverage AI for smarter decision-making.
This acquisition is part of TCS’s plan to expand its Salesforce and cloud services globally. The addition of Coastal Cloud will strengthen TCS’s position among the top five global Salesforce consulting firms and enable the company to serve both mid-market and enterprise clients more effectively.
TCS Chief Operating Officer Aarthi Subramanian said the deal supports the company’s “AI-led transformation strategy” and enhances its Salesforce expertise. Coastal Cloud CEO Eric Berridge said joining TCS will allow the combined team to deliver better solutions at a larger scale.
The deal follows TCS’s recent acquisition of ListEngage, a US-based AI advisory firm, in October 2025. Together, these moves highlight TCS’s focus on cloud, AI, and digital transformation services, reinforcing its position in the global consulting market.
The acquisition also brings TCS new industry experience and expands its client base in the US, a key market for Salesforce consulting. Analysts expect the move to accelerate TCS’s growth in digital solutions and strengthen its competitive position in the fast-evolving IT services sector.
