Dear Sirs:

I, Laurent Bernard Marie Junique, Founder, Executive Chairman and CEO of TDCX Inc, am pleased to submit this preliminary non-binding proposal (the “Proposal”) to acquire all of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares of TDCX Inc. (the “Ordinary Shares”), including the Class A ordinary shares represented by the American Depositary Receipts of the Company (the “ADSs”, each representing one Class A ordinary share) that are not already owned by me and my affiliates in a going private transaction (the “Transaction”).

I beneficially own approximately 86.1% of all the issued and outstanding shares (including Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares), representing approximately 98.4% of the aggregate voting power of the Company, based on the Company’s latest outstanding number of shares as publicly disclosed. It is my firm and reasonable belief that my proposal provides an attractive opportunity to the Company’s shareholders.

I am prepared to consummate the Transaction as outlined in the key terms and conditions as set forth below.

4. Due Diligence. Parties providing financing will require a timely opportunity to conduct customary due diligence on the Company. I would like to ask the Board to accommodate such due diligence request and

approve the provision of confidential information relating to the Company and its business to possible sources of debt financing subject to a customary form of confidentiality agreement.

In conclusion, I would like to express my strong commitment to work together to bring the Transaction to a successful and timely conclusion. If you have any questions regarding this proposal, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

/s/ Laurent Bernard Marie Junique
