LONDON, July 29, 2010 - HCL Technologies Ltd. (HCL), a leading global IT services provider, today
announced results for the annual and quarter ended June 30 2010. For the full
year, HCL's global revenues increased by 24.1% to $2.7bn. During the quarter,
HCL posted strong growth with revenues increasing by 21.5% YoY to $738 mn.

During the year, HCL's Europe business witnessed a revenue increase of
20.6% in FY'10. Its quarterly revenue grew 4.2% QoQ (in constant currency
term). This geography contributes more than 27% of HCL Technologies'
revenues. This demonstrates increasing market recognition of the value HCL
delivers to its customers in Europe and validates HCL's Go-To-Market (GTM)
strategy in the geography. The GTM encompasses integrated horizontal, sector
and geographic focus and it is gaining momentum in ensuring HCL's success in
a dynamic European market environment that is geared to deliver a balanced
growth, going forward.

"Over the last year we have developed facilities, invested in local
operations and increased headcount in the region and with it our ability to
service European clients locally. This is a continuation of our European
growth strategy of making strong investments during the downturn, to be best
positioned to accelerate our business forward in the European market."
commented Rajeev Sawhney, President for HCL Europe. "This commitment to
Europe has enabled us to welcome new clients to HCL, as well as extend
current relationships. This growth exemplifies the corner-stone of our core
philosophy on Employees First, Customers Second and in our success of gaining
momentum in the region.

During the last financial year, HCL has won a number of significant
contracts within its key vertical and horizontal service lines in Europe.
These include Equitable Life, GlaxoSmithKline, Royal Mail, Sky Italia, St
Gobain and News International.

CEO Vineet Nayar continued to articulate HCL's innovative management
philosophies through his new book titled, "Employees First, Customers
Second". The book unveils HCL's unique approach to management and has
received rave reviews across the business and publishing worlds with
high-profile interviews in the FT (View from the Top), The Economist, and
prime-time interviews on CNBC and Bloomberg.

The analyst community has also commented on two of HCL's key customer
engagements in Europe. AMR published a case study on the SAP implementation
by HCL AXON for Birmingham City Council highlighting the 'huge business
value' generated (GBP400m worth of savings over just three years). AMR
categorised this as a 'business transformation' case. Ovum have also
published a case study on HCLs engagement with DSG and sited several factors
which have made the relationship successful including flexibility,
transparency and responsiveness to changing circumstances and the time
invested in the business relationship.
