    Acquisition is not a bad idea at this time, as the Citigroup is losing its foot in many arenas. It is a nice move by TCS.

    Do you know that this was a company acquired by Citi few years back? This is a non-profit earning company that was a burden on Citi rather than an asset. Citi wanted to get rid of 25% of there workforce that account to 52000 headcount. By getting rid of this business Citi has got rid of 12000 employee at one shot. Citi is a very big company, such small storm really does not imact citi. Remember I work for Legal department in Citi
