Foraying into notebooks, creating ‘technological verticals’ by developing industry-specific products, continuing developmental initiatives to enhance overall PC penetration and drawing the future roadmap to spearhead digital lifestyle era in the nation – it has been a busy year of achievements & milestones for HCL. And as we enter into the current year, which incidentally marks our 30 years of pioneering technology, we would continue to define the contours of Indian ICT industry – even more passionately than ever.”

 

The 30 years Milestone:

HCL touched another milestone this year along with touching the lives of so many Indians, by completing 30 years of its operations on 11th Aug 2006. Last thirty years have witnessed tremendous changes in India – in fields of economy, business as well as technology. And keeping pace with it, HCL today has already established its leadership in the IT infrastructure & technology enablement segment. HCL has developed one of the widest & most extensive service & support infrastructure for ICT technology in the country. The dream conceived in 1976 by the founders is a leading reality today in the Indian IT industry.

 

Key Achievements:

HCL designed and introduced a micro-computer in 1978, same time as Apple and three years ahead of IBM PC – literally HCL is a global pioneer.

Till date, HCL is the largest manufacturer & marketer of desktops in the Indian IT market.

HCL was the first PC manufacturer to develop specific products for rural India and has a repertoire of pioneering technologies such as pedal-power PC etc.

HCL has perhaps the widest ICT offerings under a single brand umbrella – ranging from state-of-the-art PCs to high end servers & network integration equipment to software design consultancy and lot more.

 

Key Initiatives of HCL:

In one of the most defining initiative, HCL announced its robust foray unleashing Digital Lifestyle revolution in the country. Consolidating its comprehensive offerings in digital technology – which includes cell phones, media center PCs, MP3 cameras, host of digitized office automation solutions – HCL entered into strategic tie-ups with Dishtv (Zee TV) & Apple to render the support of its extensive distribution & service strength to Dishtv’s DTH & Apple’s iPod – thus offering a complete spectrum of digital technology solutions. Just as HCL spearheaded the PC revolution, it plans to now make digital lifestyle a part of every Indian’s vocabulary. Besides an extensive product offering, HCL has plans for an extensive pan-India establishment of HCL ‘Digital Lifestyle’ stores. To be enchristened as ‘HCL Digilife’ – these stores would offer a complete & ‘experiential’ panorama of digital technology products – ranging from a cell phone to an integrated network solution.

 

Continuing its technology leadership, HCL also became the first Indian PC manufacturer to launch products with revolutionary technologies such as Intel ‘Dual-2-Core’ processors, Intel Itanium processors and Intel Xeon 5000 series processors. Further still, it created a new industry benchmark by further expanding the market through proactive identification & development of products to suit specific ‘industry segments’ – such as revolutionary BeePOS solutions for the retail sector, SD2 Technology enabled PCs & host of ‘trusted technology infrastructure’ products for the Indian BPO-IteS segment and even in notebooks – where HCL became the first-ever laptop manufacturer to offer ‘segment specific’ notebooks.

 

No wonder then, that HCL retained the market leadership in total desktop shipments in FY’05-06 (for the fifth year in row) and registered 12% faster growth than the market. (IDC’s India Quarterly PC Market Tracker, 1Q 2006)
