The company has also acquired two new key customers in the region with a total deal value of over $30 million, said, Mr N. Chandrasekaran, Head, Global Operations and Sales, TCS. He was addressing the media on Monday.

Mr Chandrasekaran said that new orders were from Transantiago, Chile's public transport system, for its BPO and IT operations. The contract would be for three years. The second deal was to set up back office operations for a Spanish bank in Chile. TCS would be handling the entire loan and credit business for the bank and the contract would be for five years, he said.
