HCLSoftware, the software division of HCLTech, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Swiss Network in India, represented by the Embassy of Switzerland, Swiss Business Hub India, and Swissnex. This strategic collaboration will advance public sector digital transformation initiatives across domains such as e-governance, healthcare, edtech, and agritech.
The partnership is part of the Indo-Swiss Innovation Platform and aligns with the Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA), supporting bilateral collaboration in digital infrastructure between India and Switzerland.
The MoU focuses on addressing public sector challenges by promoting citizen-centric GovTech solutions. By leveraging HCLSoftware’s platforms — including HCL Total Experience, HCL Universal Orchestrator, HCL AppScan, and HCL BigFix — the collaboration aims to develop real-world governance tools. The partnership encourages engagement among startups, academia, corporations, and governments across both countries to foster long-term innovation and knowledge exchange.
“This MoU represents our commitment to building international partnerships that drive meaningful innovation in the public sector,” said Mrs. Maya Tissafi, Ambassador of Switzerland to India.
“This partnership showcases the power of global collaboration in solving public sector challenges. We’re excited to explore innovative pathways together,” said Jonas Brunschwig, CEO of Swissnex in India.
The partnership will use frameworks like HCLSoftware’s Experience, Data, and Operations (XDO) Blueprint to modernise public services. This includes enhancing user experience, enabling informed decisions, and improving service accessibility.
Kalyan Kumar, Chief Product Officer at HCLSoftware, said, “By contributing our experience and frameworks like the XDO Blueprint, we aim to support joint efforts exploring innovative, citizen-centric digital transformation approaches.” He added that the collaboration would co-create scalable GovTech solutions that promote transparency, accessibility, and institutional resilience.
