HCL Technologies Limited has informed the Exchange regarding 'Release - HCLTech study underscores the criticality of product-aligned operating models to drive innovation, efficiency and customer value '.

HCLTech has released a global research study titled 'The Blueprint to AI-led Operating Model: Mastering the Art of Engineering Value at Velocity', based on a survey of 550 senior IT and business decision-makers across the US, Europe and Asia-Pacific. The study finds that 88% of enterprises are moving towards Product-Aligned Operating Models (PAOMs), while 9 in 10 firms still using traditional operating models fail to generate meaningful returns on their tech investments. Key highlights include the role of Generative AI in product lifecycle management, the importance of leadership and culture (95% cite need for cultural shift), and the finding that AI-investing PAOM firms are four times more likely to maximize AI ROI. The report also serves to promote HCLTech's own offerings — HCLTech Fenix and AI Force — as solutions for enterprises. Context: HCLTech employs over 223,000 people across 60 countries with trailing twelve-month revenues of $13.8 billion as of March 2025.
