History
Formation and early years
In 1976, a group of eight engineers, all former employees of Delhi Cloth & General Mills, led by Shiv Nadar, started a company that would make personal computers.[2][3] Initially floated as Microcomp Limited, Nadar and his team (which also included Arjun Malhotra, Ajai Chowdhry, D.S. Puri, Yogesh Vaidya and Subhash Arora) started selling teledigital calculators to gather capital for their main product. On 11 August 1976, the company was renamed Hindustan Computers Limited (HCL).[4] The company originally was focused on hardware but, via HCL Technologies, software and services became a main focus.[5][6]
HCL Technologies began as the R&D Division of HCL Enterprise,[7] a company which was a contributor to the development and growth of the IT and computer industry in India. HCL Enterprise developed an indigenous microcomputer in 1978,[8] and a networking OS and client-server architecture in 1983.[9] On 12 November 1991, HCL Technologies was spun off as a separate unit to provide software services.[10] Later subsidiaries included HCL Infosystems and HCL Healthcare.
On 12 November 1991, a company called HCL Overseas Limited was incorporated as a provider of technology development services.[11] It received the certificate of commencement of business on 10 February 1992 after which it began its operations. Two years later, in July 1994, the company name was changed to HCL Consulting Limited.[12] On 6 October 1999, the company was renamed 'HCL Technologies Limited' for "a better reflection of its activities."[11]
Between 1991 and 1999, the company expanded its software development capacities to US, European and APAC markets.[11]
