Shiv Nadar, founder, HCL and chairman, HCL Technologies, has been awarded the UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) Business Person of the Year Award for his pioneering investment in the UK and for his direction in establishing HCL as a leader in the ICT industry in India.
The award was given by the UK Minister For Trade, Investment & Business Lord Davies of Abersoch in the presence of the British High Commissioner in India, Richard Stagg.
Reacting to the award, Nadar said: “The UK holds a special place for us at HCL. About 90 per cent of our Europe presence is out of the UK. Many of our recent large transformational partnerships are with UK companies; and what I believe is a game-changing acquisition, Axon, is a UK company.”
The UK Trade & Investment Special Recognition Award recognises an individual who has made a unique contribution to UK/India bilateral trade and investment. It was awarded to Anthony Bamford, chairman, JCB.
