History [edit]

HCL Technologies is one of three businesses which are separately listed in India – falling under the corporate umbrella of HCL Enterprise with combined annual 2011 revenues of US$6 billion. HCL Enterprise was founded in 1976 and is one of India's original IT garage start ups.[citation needed] HCL Technologies formed in 1991 when HCL's R&D business was spun off to focus on the growing IT services industry. They have decided to vast their features in Information Technology all over the world. Over the last 20 years, HCL has expanded its service portfolio in IT applications (custom applications for industry solutions and package implementation), IT infrastructure management, and business process outsourcing, while maintaining and affecting product engineering.

Acquisitions and Joint Ventures [edit]

The company acquired Capitalstream, a US BFSI product company for US$40 million in February 2008. Capitalstream's FinanceCenter product is an obligation to HCL's current product addressing the BFSI market - Penstock, the product that HCL has launched in 2007. HCL sold its product Capitalsteam to French applications software provider Linedata for a consideration of $45 million in Feb 2013.[4]

On 15 December 2008, HCLT acquired the UK based AXON Group for US$658 million, which was renamed HCL Axon.
