HCLTech CEO Vijayakumar earns $10.85 mn in FY25; tops TCS, Infosys heads
The company's board has also approved an over 71 per cent increase in his current remuneration to $18.6 million (about ₹154 crore) for the next financial year, according to the company's annual report.
Vijayakumar's FY25 compensation places him ahead of his peers at India's top two IT firms.
For the same period, TCS CEO K Krithivasan's remuneration was ₹26.52 crore, while Infosys CEO Salil Parekh earned Rs 80.62 crore. Vijayakumar's earnings also topped those of Wipro CEO Srinivas Pallia ($6.2 million or about Rs 53.64 crore) and Tech Mahindra CEO Mohit Joshi (₹53.9 crore).
According to HCLTech's annual report, Vijayakumar's total remuneration in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, comprised a base salary of $1.96 million and a performance-linked bonus of $1.73 million.
The largest portion of his earnings came from long-term incentives, with exercised Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) valued at $6.96 million. An additional $0.20 million was provided in benefits and perquisites.
Vijayakumar, who took over as the CEO in 2016, is based in the US and draws his remuneration from HCL America Inc., the firm's wholly-owned US subsidiary.
"Under C. Vijayakumar's leadership, HCLTech's market capitalisation has increased from ₹1,15,000 crore on March 31, 2016, to ₹4,32,000 crore on March 31, 2025, reflecting a growth of 3.8 times since FY16. Over the same period, the market capitalisation of the other four leading Indian listed IT services firms among the top five has grown by approximately 2.5 times," the company said.
The company's board has approved a revised remuneration package for Vijayakumar, effective April 1, 2025. The proposed annual salary is set at $18.6 million, marking a 71 per cent increase from his FY25 earnings.
The proposed structure significantly increases both fixed and performance-linked components.
"The revised compensation acknowledges C Vijayakumar's successful and long-tenured leadership as CEO, recognising his significant contributions to the company's growth and sustained performance over the years," the report said.
HCL Technologies posted a 9.7 per cent drop to ₹3,843 crore in consolidated net profit for the June quarter, hurt by higher expenses and one-time impact of a client bankruptcy, but raised the lower end of revenue growth outlook for the full fiscal to 3-5 per cent (from 2-5 per cent earlier) on booking expectations in coming quarters.
Shares of HCLTech settled 0.98 per cent lower at ₹1,452.95 apiece on the BSE on Friday.

Mahindra & Mahindra Gifts New BE.6 Model to Dharmasthala Temple
Dharmasthala: In a continuing tradition of goodwill, Mahindra & Mahindra has presented its latest BE.6 model vehicle to the historic Dharmasthala temple. The vehicle was formally handed over on Sunday by Vinay Khanolkar, Head of the production division at Mahindra, to Dharmadhikari Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade. Speaking on the occasion, Khanolkar said the offering of a newly launched vehicle to Dharmasthala symbolises the company's longstanding association with the temple. 'This is the third such presentation, and each time it has reaffirmed our commitment to spiritual and community values,' he said. Dr. Heggade welcomed the gesture, highlighting the practical role Mahindra vehicles play in rural outreach. 'These vehicles are integral to our Rural Development Programme, where their performance and reliability have stood the test of time,' he said. He also praised the company's contributions to the nation, especially in equipping the Indian armed forces with durable transport solutions. After the ceremony, Dr. Heggade personally test-drove the new model and offered his blessings for the vehicle's continued service. The event was attended by Hemavathi V. Heggade, Amit, and Shraddha Amit, marking another chapter in the temple's partnership with Indian industry.

Indian semiconductor market may grow over two-fold to ₹9.6 trillion by 2030
India's semiconductor market is expected to more than double to grow in the range of $ 100-110 billion by 2030 according to industry estimates, an official statement said on Sunday. The Indian semiconductor market was about $ 45-50 billion in 2024-2025 against $ 38 billion in 2023, the statement said, citing industry estimates. "As per industry estimates, the size of the Indian semiconductor market was about $ 38 billion in 2023, $ 45-50 billion in 2024-2025 and is expected to reach $ 100-110 billion by 2030," the statement said. A detailed statement highlighting the need for semiconductors, efforts of the government and response from the industry cited the crisis faced by various technology segments especially by the automobile industry due to dependency on select geographies during the Covid pandemic and stressed on the need for developing India as trusted partner in the global supply chain. "Currently, countries like Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, China and US dominate the semiconductor industry. Taiwan produces more than 60% of the world's semiconductors, including nearly 90 per cent of the most advanced ones. Such dependence on a single region has exposed global supply chains to significant risks from pandemics and natural disasters to geopolitical tensions. Recognizing this challenge, many countries are now building secure and diversified supply chains," the statement said. The United States, European Union, Japan, and South Korea have launched national strategies to support domestic chip manufacturing and reduce over-reliance on a single region. "India is emerging as an important and trusted partner in this global shift," the statement said. The global semiconductor market is expected to reach $ 1 trillion by 2030, with India's market occupying a substantial portion of it. India has the capacity to emerge as a key contributor to the three primary pillars of the semiconductor manufacturing supply chain - equipment, materials and services and R&D. It stated that India can leverage a strong base of MSMEs to produce components for semiconductor equipment and it has a rich source of chemicals, minerals and gases which can be utilised by semiconductor supply chain companies. Services R&D, logistics and supply chain, major talent in AI, big data, cloud computing and IoT are major strengths, the statement said. The government has already launched India Semiconductor Mission in December 2021 with an outlay of ₹ 76,000 crore to provide financial support for investments in semiconductor fabrication, display manufacturing & chip design to strengthen India's integration into global electronics value chains. Industry players including US memory chip maker Micron, Tata Electronics (TEPL) in partnership with Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp (PSMC) of Taiwan, CG Power & Industrial Pvt Ltd in partnership with Renesas & Stars, Tata Semiconductor Assembly and Test Pvt Ltd (TSAT), Kaynes Semicon, HCL-Foxconn JV have committed a total investment of over ₹ 1.55 lakh crore to produce semiconductors in India. The government under the ISM has made a ₹ 1000 crore provision for Design Linked Incentive for chip design out of which it has committed ₹ 234 crore financial support for eligible start-ups. "The government had committed the support of ₹ 234 crore for the chip design projects from 22 companies with a total project cost of ₹ 690 crore. These chips will be used in CCTV cameras, mobile networks, satellites, cars, smart devices, etc. The government under its vision for semiconductor ecosystem development supports Semicon India which is a flagship event organised in partnership with SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International). The platform brings together global industry leaders, policymakers, academia, and startups to foster investment, dialogue, and strategic partnerships. "The 4th edition is to be held in Delhi from September 2-4th, 2025. Semicon India 2025 co-hosted by India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) and SEMI will be held from September 2-4, 2025, at Yashobhoomi (IICC), New Delhi. It is set to display India's redefining role in the global semiconductor ecosystem," the statement said.
