Overview
Private equity leaders are navigating one of the most challenging investment climates in recent years. High interest rates, tightening capital and cautious LP sentiment are putting ROI under pressure. Competition for quality assets is intense, yet fragmented technology, stalled innovation programs and escalating costs often slow post-deal value creation. Many portfolio companies struggle to operationalize GenAI, modernize their operations, or scale efficiently, which delays the returns that PE funds expect.
At HCLTech, we understand these headwinds because we work with many portfolio companies owned by leading PE funds worldwide. We help funds and their investments accelerate value creation, improve EBITDA and strengthen operational resilience, whether you’re integrating new acquisitions, modernizing legacy systems or preparing assets for a strategic exit.
How We Help Private Equity Leaders
We align with your investment strategy to deliver measurable business outcomes across four transformation priorities:
GenAI-led innovation at scale
Build shared centers of excellence to accelerate portfolio-wide innovation using proven GenAI “recipes,” reusable co-pilots and outcome-driven delivery hubs, reducing time-to-market and increasing R&D productivity.
Digital-first manufacturing
Modernize plant operations, optimize supply chains and deploy scalable MES and IoT solutions without heavy upfront investment through modular offerings like our plant-in-a-box framework.
Seamless M&A IT execution
