“It is high time the Indian IT prowess is given its due recognition in the industry. The reports from industry experts like IDC affirm the vast potential we have to spread the power of computing across the length and breadth of the country,” concluded Mr. Paul.

 

The performance and impressive growth of HCL is attributed to the technological innovations introduced by the domestic IT majors in its PCs, apart from other factors. HCL recently launched the HCL Beanstalk Media Center PC, which makes it the first Indian brand to do so. The PC has been specially developed by HCL Insys, coupling with the newly designed interface of Microsoft Windows XP media center edition, to completely revolutionize digital entertainment in India.
