I derive great inspiration from Mother Nature who, I believe, is our first and best teacher.
Cultures across the globe have some reference of drawing strength from the five elements—Air, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Water. Back in 2012 itself, HCL’s Sustainability Report drew inspiration from these five elements. Fast-forward eight years and we find ourselves in the midst of a pandemic! Like much of her bounty, Nature’s wisdom is timeless.
Like the air that encompasses all, an organization’s basic structure is all-pervading and inclusive. At HCL, the ambience of ideapreneurship, technological innovation, and focus on being a socially responsible business is the ‘air’ that holds us all together.
Fire dispels ignorance and gives light. Our ambience kindles and nurtures the ‘inner fire’ of our ideapreneurs who make HCL such a warm and great place to work in.
Earth, characterized by patience and forbearance, resonates with our organization’s resilient attitude toward changes in the evolving landscape around us.
Wind, inspiring and unfettered, characterizes change. Our employees who collaborate, not only on technological innovation, but also on high-impact transformational initiatives, are the
‘winds beneath our wings,’ indispensable to our identity as a socially responsible business.
Finally, water, ever-flowing, is unstoppable even when confronted with barriers. Our transformational journey for the last four decades synchronizes keenly with the dynamic nature of this element.
