HCL Technologies Annual Report 2022

The past 12 months have seen humanity and businesses evolve to the ‘new normal.’ Human inventiveness and technological innovation came to the forefront to help communities and businesses act, adapt, and advance through this period of disruption.

If the year prior provided the chance to reflect and introspect on what was truly ‘essential’, 2021-22 was defined by the opportunity to recalibrate and accelerate.

  • Accelerate enterprise and business model transformations
  • Accelerate creation of new competitive advantages and differentiated experiences – seizing opportunities amid crises
  • Accelerate professional ambitions and personal aspirations
  • Accelerate progress toward key global sustainability targets
  • Accelerate the vision of an inclusive and equitable future
  • Accelerate growth and value creation for all stakeholders and ecosystems

HCL Technologies’ Annual Report 2021-22 recounts a year of sustained, market-leading momentum, priming us as the partner of choice to accelerate progress for our clients, our people, our shareholders, and stakeholders. We remain committed to enabling this acceleration with a single-minded focus to deliver responsible progress for all.
