HCLSoftware, the enterprise software division of HCLTech, has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding with the Swiss Network in India. This network is represented by the Embassy of Switzerland, the Swiss Business Hub India, and Swissnex in India. Through this agreement, HCLSoftware becomes a part of the Indo Swiss Innovation Platform.
This platform was launched under the Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement framework to build stronger digital infrastructure and deepen collaboration between India and Switzerland. The main goal of this initiative is to address critical public sector challenges by encouraging digital transformation that puts citizens first. It will focus on key GovTech areas such as e-governance, sovereign collaboration, healthcare, education technology, and agriculture technology.
The partnership will also explore fresh models of cooperation that reflect real governance needs. By involving stakeholders from government, academia, startups, and industry, this effort aims to create a cross-border innovation corridor. This will help both countries in sharing knowledge and developing long-term joint solutions.
Mrs. Maya Tissafi, Ambassador of Switzerland to India, said, “This MoU represents our commitment to building international partnerships that drive meaningful innovation in the public sector. By combining our countries’ strengths in technology and governance, we can create solutions that benefit citizens while setting new standards for international cooperation in digital transformation.”
Jonas Brunschwig, CEO and Consul General of Swissnex in India, added, “HCLSoftware joining the Indo Swiss Innovation Platform in a strategic partnership can accelerate GovTech innovation. This partnership will create tangible opportunities for startups, researchers, and technology companies in both countries to collaborate on solutions that address real-world governance challenges and enhance digital infrastructure.”
HCLSoftware will contribute its Experience, Data, and Operations Blueprint, a strategic model created to modernize the public sector. This will help identify scalable methods to improve user experience, streamline public service delivery, and support data-based decision making.
Kalyan Kumar, Chief Product Officer at HCLSoftware, said, “This partnership represents a meaningful step toward advancing GovTech through international collaboration. By contributing our experience and frameworks like the XDO Blueprint, we aim to support joint efforts exploring innovative, citizen-centric digital transformation approaches.”
Swissnex has already helped nearly 200 Swiss startups explore the Indian market, promoting innovation and co-creation between both nations.
