HCL is also banking on the acquisition route to fill future gaps in its content, technology solutions and staffing expertise. “We will be open to acquisitions in the staffing space if need be and then look at backward integration in skilling,” said HCL founder and chairman, Shiv Nadar.
Over the past year, HCL TalentCare has sourced, skilled and staffed around 600 engineers to leading IT companies in the country. “This was a pilot we quietly ran to test the model and now we are confident of enrolling 20,000 people for various courses in the next three years,” HCL CEO and executive director, Roshni Nadar said. Refusing to disclose the investment, she only said, “We will invest as much required.” The company assures jobs to people who enroll for courses at HCL TalentCare. The courses will be priced at around Rs 1.5 lakh at the entry-level but the pricing will vary from course to course, depending on their design.
