In addition to being a successful entrepreneur, Nadar has invested $1.1 billion through the Shiv Nadar Foundation towards philanthropic initiatives, particularly in the area of education.
“ During my journey of building HCL, I realized that we also need to create leaders and innovators for tomorrow. With this belief and my mother’s encouragement, I started my philanthropic efforts through the Shiv Nadar Foundation. I hope that this award will inspire many young people to become entrepreneurs and also give back to society,” said Nadar.
“I am extremely grateful to Shiv Nadar and HCL Group for their deep commitment towards serving local communities and contributing to inclusive growth and social development in both US and India,” said Mukesh Aghi, President & CEO of USISPF.
