TCS Makes Major Announcement, Deal Completed for $700 Million
India’s leading tech company, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), has made a major announcement. The company informed the stock exchanges that it has made a significant acquisition to strengthen its global Salesforce consulting capabilities.
The company has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of Coastal Cloud Holdings LLC and its subsidiaries. This was done through an all-cash deal worth $700 million.
Board Approval
The TCS board approved this acquisition at its meeting on December 10, 2025. Coastal Cloud is a Salesforce Summit Partner and a Salesforce Ventures portfolio company, providing multi-cloud Salesforce transformation, AI-based consulting, and implementation services across various cloud platforms.
What does Coastal Cloud do?
Founded in 2012 and based in Florida, USA, Coastal Cloud works across multiple Salesforce clouds, including Service, Sales, Marketing, Revenue, CPQ, and Commerce. It has expertise in Agentforce and AI-driven advisory services and is capable of integrating with technologies like Snowflake, Mulesoft, and Tableau.
The company has over 400 Salesforce-certified professionals. Its turnover in 2024 was $132 million, and it recorded revenue of $141 million for the LTM (Last Twelve Months) ending September 2025. After the acquisition is complete, Coastal Cloud will continue to be led by its CEO, Eric Berridge.
What will TCS gain?
TCS recently acquired ListEngage in October 2025. With the addition of Coastal Cloud, the company will now be among the top 5 global Salesforce consulting firms. This deal will also strengthen TCS’s AI-first strategy. TCS COO Aarti Subramanian said, “This acquisition will accelerate our AI-driven transformation agenda and is a significant step towards our vision of becoming the world’s largest AI-led technology services company.” Coastal Cloud CEO Eric Berridge said that with TCS’s global scale and AI capabilities, the company will be able to deliver better solutions to its customers even faster.
TCS strengthens its position in the US market
The US is TCS’s largest market. With this acquisition, the company will strengthen its presence in the mid-market customer segment, enhance its multi-cloud and consulting capabilities, and expand its AI, data, and digital engineering portfolio. The acquisition is expected to be completed by January 31, 2026, subject to HSR (Hart-Scott-Rodino) antitrust approval.
The acquisition of Coastal Cloud will take TCS’s Salesforce consulting capabilities to new heights and strengthen its position in AI-driven business transformation globally.
