History of HCL
In 1976, Shiv Nadar, Arjun Malhotra, Subhash Arora, Badam Kishore Kumar, T.V Bharadwaj and Arun Kumar H jointly started a company named Microcomp Limited.[1] The focus of the company was design and manufacturing of scientific calculators. The venture provided its founders money to start a company that focused on manufacturing computers. The company name "HCL" used to stand for "Hindustan Computer Limited" but now HCL is the only one name that the company goes by. HCL received support from the Government of Uttar Pradesh to set up manufacturing in Noida. On February 1, 2013, Nadar announced that he would step down as chairman of HCL Corporation and his daughter Roshni Nadar would become the next chairman.[2]

This innovative management approach is described in a book by Vineet Nayar, Vice Chairman & Joint Managing Director of HCL Technologies, Employees First, Customers Second: Turning Conventional Management Upside Down (Harvard Business Press, 2010). The book tells the story of HCLs transformational journey, as the company recognized the need for change, created a culture of trust through transparency, turned the organizational pyramid on its head and shifted the responsibility of change from the office of the CEO to employees.
Environmental records
According to environmental organisation Greenpeace, 29% of HCL products are currently free of toxic polyvinyl chloride plastic (PVC) and brominated flame retardants (BFRs). In March 2010, HCL launched its first notebook entirely free of PVC and BFRs.[4]
