Founder – HCL

Chief Strategy Officer – HCL Technologies

Shiv Nadar is the Founder of HCL Enterprise, a $10.0 billion global organization with over
159,000 professionals operating from 50 countries. He is also the Chief
Strategy Officer of HCL Technologies, a group company and India’s third
largest IT services organization. Nadar is credited with being one of the
pioneers of the computing and IT industry in India. Under his guidance HCL
has continued to ride the waves of the changing IT landscape for over 40
years and remain at the forefront of every technological revolution since
1976.While HCL started off as a hardware organization, manufacturing the
country’s first indigenous computers and introducing them to the Indian
consumer, it eventually evolved into a more comprehensive software services
organization. HCL is in fact one of the few global IT companies founded in the
1970s that remains in existence to date.

Throughout his career, Nadar always acknowledged that successful institution building is
dependent on forging result-oriented partnerships and creating new
knowledge. He steered HCL to create several valuable joint ventures and
alliances that aided the organization’s emergence as a global technology
enterprise. His pioneering spirit and belief in engineering and research
shaped the course of the organization and is the reason that today HCL
Technologies boasts one of the largest IT Engineering and R&D divisions in
the world.

Nadar started his career as part of the elite DCM management trainee system. It was at
DCM that he met the people with whom he later started HCL in a Delhi
Barsati “akin to a garage startup” with a compelling vision that the
microprocessor would change the world.

Nadar credits his success to the education and scholarships that he received during his early
years. He has always maintained that access to quality education is the most
potent tool of transformation and therefore, in 1994, he established the
philanthropic – Shiv Nadar Foundation. The Foundation draws heavily on
Nadar’s experience of building a world-class organization like HCL. It
endeavors to create institutions of transformational education that will
continue to influence and nurture the country’s youth for decades to come.
To this effect, the Shiv Nadar Foundation has established six institutions
covering the entire spectrum of education, which aim to address the issue of
quality in education, create lasting partnerships and have a strong research
orientation.

As of 2020, Nadar has invested ~ US$ 900 million through the Foundation, impacting over
30,000 students directly. However, the Foundation’s ultimate aim is to
nurture the next generation of leaders in the ideologies of symbiotic growth
so that each of them may in turn aspire to affect a small change, creating a
large multiplier effect. The impact of the Shiv Nadar Foundation institutions is
today reflected in the aspirations of meritorious students who started their
journeys from humble, geographically, remote backgrounds but are today
pursuing their dreams in India as well as other countries.

In recognition of his pioneering role in business and philanthropy in India and across the
globe, Nadar has received several honours and accolades, notable being the
Padma Bhushan from the President of India in 2008.

Nadar is married to Kiran, an Asian Games medalist and internationally renowned bridge
player. She is also one of the largest Indian Art collectors in the world.

Group Chairman

AWARDED PADMA VIBHUSHAN, 2019

Mr. A. M. Naik mirrors the values of the organisation he heads - professionalism,


entrepreneurship and a passionate commitment to advancing the interests of all
stakeholders. Under his leadership, L&T overcame multiple challenges and emerged
stronger with a sharper focus on profitable growth. Media surveys and peer group
assessments rank Mr. Naik as among the world’s best performing business leaders.

Joining the Company as a Junior Engineer in 1965, Mr. Naik rapidly rose to positions of
increasing responsibility as he moved from General Manager to Managing Director and CEO,
leading to his appointment as Chairman and Managing Director on December 29, 2003. Mr.
Naik was the Group Executive Chairman of L&T from 2012 to 2017. In October 2017, he
stepped aside from executive responsibilities, and was appointed Group Chairman.
In pursuit of the mission to transform L&T into a world-class conglomerate, Mr. Naik led a
transformational process that boosted shareholder value. His leadership has seen a
remarkable increase across all parameters of business performance - market capitalization,
consolidated turnover and net worth. He also spearheaded the re-structuring of the
conglomerate to facilitate aggressive growth across a large revenue base.

Decades ago, Mr. Naik kick-started the process of indigenising the manufacture of critical
equipment for the defence sector and process industries. His efforts led to L&T assuming
leadership position in the design, development and manufacture of missiles and weapon
systems and forged a vibrant relationship with national bodies for defence research &
development and space research.

Mr Naik infused a global perspective to L&T’s operations. This involved revamping mindsets
and ensuring that virtually every critical activity is benchmarked against global standards.

Other landmark achievements that have yielded significant value for the Company and its
stakeholders include the de-merger of the cement business. He conceptualized the proposal
for the L&T Employees’ Trust which has ringfenced L&T, enabling the Company to retain its
unique character and strengthen the employees’ sense of belonging.

Mr Naik’s emphasis on HR and the nurturing of human capital triggered major initiatives to
attract, retain and groom talent. He has also been principally responsible for the use of IT as
a major enabler across L&T’s businesses.

A concern for social uplift complements Mr. Naik's keen business interests. Mr. Naik was
instrumental in setting up the Larsen & Toubro Public Charitable Trust which is engaged in a
wide spectrum of community development initiatives including skill training at several
locations around the country.
In November 2018, the Government of India appointed Mr. Naik Chairman of the National
Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) – the apex-level body that charts the course for skill
training of India’s youth. The appointment is recognition by the highest quarters of L&T’s
role in skill training, which has been a lifelong passion for Mr. Naik.

In his personal capacity, Mr. Naik remains deeply committed to the community. He has
pledged 75% of his wealth to social causes in the sectors of healthcare, education and skill
development. A robust mechanism which he put in place ensures that every philanthropic
initiative is continuously monitored and achieves stated targets.

Knighthood by Her Majesty Queen Margrethe in 2008 and a further honour, the Order of

Company 80 – Torrent Pharma

Mr. Sudhir Mehta, Chairman of Rs. 21000 Crore Torrent Group, is the driving force behind
its strong presence in Pharma and Power sectors. Born in 1954, Mr. Sudhir Mehta formally
joined the family business in the early 70s.

After completing his education, Mr. Mehta joined his father in managing the affairs of
Torrent Pharma and began learning the nuances of business and management under his
watchful eyes. He brought in great dynamism and large business acumen into the Group
resulting into the initial success of Torrent Pharma, the flagship company of the Torrent
Group. He was instrumental in the commissioning of its first manufacturing facility at
Ahmedabad and bagging the first export order to Russia. In recognition of its superior
performance, Torrent Pharma earned the President’s award for highest pharmaceuticals
exports of Rs. 1570 million in 1991-92.

The astute businessman in Mr. Mehta was quick to foresee the emerging opportunities in
the power sector and he lead Torrent’s foray into this sector by the acquisition of the ailing
Mahendra Cables in late 80’s, now known as Torrent Cables Ltd. This was followed by the
acquisition of The Ahmedabad Electricity Company and The Surat Electricity Company in the
early 90’s; now part of Torrent Power Ltd. Over the years, he planned strategies and built
resources with an aim of making Torrent Power a leader in this sector. As a result of his
efforts, a 655 MW dual fuel combined cycle power project was commissioned within
stipulated cost and time.

Mr. Mehta took over as the Chairman of the Torrent Group in 1998 after the demise of his
father, Mr. UN Mehta. Under the able leadership of Mr. Mehta, Torrent Group has since
grown into a leading business group.

Torrent Pharma today has a strong presence in various therapeutic segments with eight
world-class operational manufacturing plants and a state-of-the-art research centre. Torrent
Pharma’s global operations are spread across 40 countries with wholly owned subsidiaries in
most major markets. The acquisition of Elder Pharma's Indian branded business in 2013,
Dermaceutical business of Zyg Pharma in 2015, API Plant of Glochem Industries in 2016,
women healthcare brands from Novartis and Unichem's Indian branded business and its
Sikkim Plant in 2017 strengthened Torrent Pharma's position.
Alongside, Torrent Power today has a strong foothold in generation, distribution and
transmission segments. The company has a generation capacity of 3600 MW. It distributes
power to 24.5 lacs customers in Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar and Surat in Gujarat as a
“distribution licensee” and to 6.68 lacs customers in the cities of Agra and Bhiwandi as a
“distribution franchisee”. It has also set up power transmission infrastructure for catering to
its distribution business.

Mr. Samir Mehta, 56 is the Chairman of Rs. 21,000 Crore Torrent Group.

Under his leadership, Torrent Pharma took several strategic initiatives, including forays into
new therapies and geographies, large investments in product development infrastructure
and capabilities, building state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and acquisitions, thus
establishing Torrent as one of India’s fast growing and well respected Pharma majors. His
emphasis on professional organisational design, precise execution and operational
efficiencies has built a strong and globally competitive generic business platform in Torrent
Pharma.

Mr. Mehta has also guided the Group’s entry and growth in the Power sector. Torrent
Power has systematically improved its performance on all efficiency parameters and ranks
amongst the best run power utilities in the country. His emphasis on efficiency and reliability
has led the Company to demonstrate exemplary operational capabilities and high customer
orientation thus, setting new benchmarks in the sector and attracting many accolades.
