Our services focus on the following main industry segments: Financial Services, Life Sciences and Healthcare, Manufacturing, Retail, Telecom, Media and Entertainment, Technology and Public Services.
In FY23, we continued to see strong growth in the following areas:
Industry-specific Value Chain Transformation: Customers focused on supply chain transformation, omnichannel modernization and transforming customer experiences across business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business-to-consumer (B2B2C) interfaces.
Operating Model Change: The trend of customers moving from project-based to agile-product-oriented organizations continued in FY23 with customers also moving toward cost efficiencies through vendor consolidation.
Technology Modernization: Customers continued to leverage our services in adopting SaaS solutions and adopting cloud ecosystems. Notably, our enterprise package/SaaS and cloud eco-system business grew strongly in the Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, Workday and the Azure, AWS, GCP and IBM ecosystems.
From an industry perspective, the telecom, manufacturing and hi-tech sectors delivered particularly strong growth while North America and Europe regions continued to lead the growth from a global perspective.
This year, our ESG proposition saw wide acceptance with large enterprises, from integrating ESG practices into supply chains to focusing on green IT and reducing carbon footprint. We implemented an industry-leading ESG platform for a large F100 aerospace company to help with global compliance. Similarly, for a leading European customer, we worked on a smart energy solution to help with carbon footprint reduction.
Our development of nearshore execution capability expanded in FY23, especially in Eastern Europe and Latin America, and will continue to grow robustly in 2024 through additional local and nearshore delivery hubs.
We continue to have a robust partner ecosystem and added 10 new partners this year. We are now one of the largest Snowflake partners. We continue to hold toptier partnership status with Adobe, Snowflake, Tibco and Alteryx as well as the highest level of partnership tier with Salesforce this year.
In FY23, Digital Business delivered a robust 18% growth. Our bookings were stronger than the prior year. With the global macro-conditions, we did see a gradual slowdown and delay in discretionary spend toward the second half of the year. However, with our strong booking trend and the wider customer shift to vendor consolidation deals driven by cost optimization, we remain buoyant about growth for FY24.

HCLTech’s DPO is a next generation global business operations unit that thrives on helping enterprises reimagine their business for the digital age. Our integrated ‘Technologyled Digital Operations’ model reimagines client’s operations across three broad digital stacks around digital workforce, digital process and digital technology. These stacks determine the velocity and magnitude of business success an organization achieves.
Digital Workforce
The digitalCOLLEAGUE is HCLTech’s domainintensive,
role-based, single-UI platform, which
works in collaboration with the human workforce.
The digitalCOLLEAGUE (dC) platform, powered
by emerging transformation technologies,
collaborates with humans to create a truly Digital
Workforce. This human-machine collaboration
enhances business operations, improving top line
growth, cost efficiency, customer satisfaction
and return on asset investment.

transformation and business processes.
This framework enables the identification,
simplification, standardization and automation
of processes through a data-driven approach.
With its proprietary 3-lever BPM approach and
AI-powered tools, it helps enterprises create
digital target operating models and leverage
comprehensive process blueprints for effective
process discovery and orchestration.
Digital Technology
DPO leverages the Enterprise Function as-a-
Service (EFaaS) model to provide on-cloud
solutions for organizations seeking cost reduction
through business process optimization, application
platform standardization/modernization and
utility-based models. With EFaaS, we implement
top technologies, deliver operational services and

Last year, DPO signed multi-million-dollar transformation deals with some of the biggest brands across industries. In one such engagement, it set up a large digital shared services hub for a leading independent software vendor (ISV) major, providing them with global cloud sales and support services. Besides new clients, DPO successfully renewed and expanded its relationship with existing clients, providing them with transformation-led digital services across front, middle and back-office functions.

In the past 12 months, demand for intelligent document processing (IDP) platforms has accelerated in order to facilitate straight-through processing of complex data types and achieve higher data processing accuracy. HCLTech is meeting this enterprise need through a patented intelligent character recognition engine that can detect complex data such as barcodes, signatures and stamps. It is filing more patents to enhance its artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities for handwriting detection, forgery and tampering with checks. It augments these capabilities through its proprietary IDP platform, EXACTO™, which can extract and classify data from more than 16 languages and detect over 35 file types.
HCLTech is a prominent player in IDP because of its focus on delivering experiential services through its Startup Ecosystem Innovation Platform & Program and its expansion in financial and manufacturing sectors through industryspecific use cases.

EdTech Business Services
During the year, we launched EdTech Business Services to power enterprise talent acquisition and mobility. Leveraging our 46+ years of experience, our primary objective is to assist governments, enterprises and educational institutions in establishing technology and talent skill academies through our Career Shaper Learning and Assessment Platforms.
The services catalog include end-to-end solutions to scale talent with predictability, and we support this objective by providing assessment centers, talent academy, talent transformation programs, EquITy Center of Excellence and advisory services.
The platforms encompass a suite of solutions for digital, cybersecurity, engineering, cloud and data science with customisable Now and Next™ learning programs based on talent cohorts. Built on SkillMesh™ framework, the assessments platform supports enterprises to standardize hiring, measure skills gaps to provide insights on core and adjacency skills of candidates.
Business Strategy
With multiple platforms available in the market, our
strategy is to support clients to acquire and retain talent
through competency-based skilling and hiring. While
most service providers focus on disseminating learning,
our platform has been built to help learners acquire
competencies for the next job level.
The business expansion strategy is to focus on HCLTech’s
clients by leveraging our global sales network, while also
reaching out to new clients and channel partners.
Key Highlights In the first year of operations, we have been able to win mandates from several Fortune 500 companies across industry verticals that include engineering, gaming, publishing, BFSI, healthcare and talent advisory solutions. We have also signed channel partnerships with Wall Street English, a global English language learning academy, and The University of Melbourne. We have been able to participate in the localization vision of a few governments, skilling sectorial councils and large organizations to shape their ideas on talent transformation.
Outlook for FY24 We will continue the momentum through global sales networks to establish connections with local government and educational institutions to skill talent with scale and predictability. We will also prioritize onboarding new G2000 customers and becoming their preferred partner for talent acquisition and learning.
