Congratulations to the TCS Research Scholar Program fellowship awardees!

Sai Mineesh Reddy, Nishant Gupta, and Rajat Adak have been selected for the TCS Research Scholar Program fellowship 2026. The three students are pursuing their PhD under Prof Navin Kashyap (Department of Electrical Communication Engineering), Prof Phani Motamarri (Department of Computational and Data Sciences), and Prof L Sunil Chandran (Department of Computer Science and Automation), respectively.

The students have been awarded the fellowship in cycle 20 (01 July 2026 to 30 June 2030), which is effective from 01 July 2026, for a period of up to four years or until completion of the PhD requirements, whichever is earlier.

Tata Consultancy Services have devised the TCS Research Scholar Program to improve the research talent base in the country. This facilitates knowledge exchange between research scholars and qualified researchers from TCS during the scholarship tenure. The Research Scholar Program thus promotes development and innovation to contribute towards boosting the country’s technology landscape and intellectual capability.
