Born in 1976, HCL has a 3 decade rich history of inventions and innovations. In
1978, HCL developed the first indigenous micro-computer at the same time as Apple
and 3 years before IBM's PC. During this period, India was a black box to the world
and the world was a black box to India. This micro-computer virtually gave birth to
the Indian computer industry. The 80's saw HCL developing know-how in many other
technologies. HCL's in-depth knowledge of Unix led to the development of a fine
grained multi-processor Unix in 1988, three years ahead of Sun and HP.

HCL's R&D was spun off as HCL Technologies in 1997 to mark their advent into the
software services arena. During the last eight years, HCL has strengthened its
processes and applied its know-how, developed over 28 years into multiple practices
- semi-conductor, operating systems, automobile, avionics, bio-medical engineering,
wireless, telecom technologies, and many more.

Today, HCL sells more PCs in India than any other brand, runs Northern Ireland's
largest BPO operation, and manages the network for Asia's largest stock exchange
network apart from designing zero visibility landing systems to land the world's most
popular airplane.
