    “About HCL 

    At a time when India had a total of just 250 computers, Shiv Nadar, the founder of HCL, led a young team of eight people who passionately believed in the growth of the IT industry. That vision in 1976, born out of a Delhi “barsaati”, (akin to a garage start-up), resulted three and a half decades later into a global transformational technology enterprise.

    Over the years, HCL witnessed many firsts which legitimized its status as a pioneer in modern computing. The most significant of these was the development of the first indigenous micro-computer in 1978 – at the same time as Apple and three years before IBM’s PC. This micro-computer virtually gave birth to the Indian computer industry. The 80’s saw HCL developing several know-hows in multiple areas of technology. HCL’s in-depth knowledge of UNIX led to the development of a fine grained multi-processor UNIX in 1988 – three years ahead of Sun and HP.

    HCL’s journey of 35 years has been truly transformational with the enterprise creating valuable Joint Ventures and alliances with marquee partners such as Hewlett Packard, Cisco, Perot Systems, Deutsche Bank and NEC Corporation, amongst others, to drive strategic growth.
