Beyond the musical performance, one specific video captured the attention of millions: HCL reportedly coordinated with the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to extend train timings until 12:30 AM. Viral clips showed employees using their office ID cards for free entry into the metro, a gesture by the company that sparked widespread praise online for its logistical planning and employee care.

A Historic Milestone for HCL

The 50th-anniversary celebration offered a moment of reflection on HCL's journey. Founded in 1976 by Shiv Nadar and five colleagues, the company initially focused on manufacturing calculators and microprocessors. Today, HCL Technologies stands as one of India's "Big Four" IT firms, reporting annual revenues of approximately $13.8 billion.

During the event, Shiv Nadar, currently serving as Chairman Emeritus, was seen greeting employees and their families. His presence added an emotional layer to the festivities, as the company looked back at its roots while reinforcing its future-forward trajectory under current leadership. ‘Raina’: Arijit Singh Returns With First Independent Song After Playback Retirement With Shekhar Ravjiani; Fans Declare ‘No One Can Replace the Legend’ (Watch Video).
