At a time when job-switching is in vogue, here’s a man who believed & acted otherwise...

London Business School calls him ‘Leader of Organisational Innovation’ and he won the ‘India’s Hottest Young Achiever’ award in 2002! But above all, Vineet Nayar, President, HCL Technologies, is the man under whose able leadership, technology major HCL has bagged awards like the ‘No.1 Specialty Offshore Services Provider’ (CMP 2005) and ‘No.1 IT Services Firms’ (Global Services & neoIT 2006). He’s the guy who radically remodelled the IT company’s culture through a cutting edge “employee first” approach, breaking down hierarchies and enabling HCL’s human resource. Elaborating, Vineet asserts, “The transparency we have adopted in our employee policy, will see HCL customers closer to HCL compared to our competition. That is the reason the trust, transparency, and flexibility as a core value have been instigated.” In an era when job switching is assumed integral to career success, Nayar proved to be an exception, boasting a two decade long and eventful stint with HCL. Participative leadership at its smashing best, combined with falling attrition rates, stock value appreciation and manifold increase in HCL revenues... this one’s proof of what a committed professional is really worth!
