Introduction
On 17 August 2026, HCL Technologies Limited filed a corporate announcement with both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) to share the results of its Telecom Pulse Survey Report conducted in partnership with Mobile World Live.
Key Findings of the Telecom Pulse Survey
AI as a Revenue Driver
- 60% of senior telecom executives surveyed view Artificial Intelligence (AI) as the top driver of future revenue.
- Despite this optimism, only 25% consider their organisations ready to operationalise AI at scale.
Execution Gaps & Challenges
- Legacy infrastructure, cloud‑native modernisation, and skill shortages are cited as the main barriers preventing AI‑native, autonomous, and cloud‑native services from being deployed at scale.
- 70% of respondents feel that connectivity services are becoming commoditised, increasing pressure to develop differentiated digital offerings.
Innovation & Product Launches
- 80% of telecom leaders reported launching fewer than five new digital products or services in the past year, indicating slow innovation velocity and challenges in product engineering and time‑to‑market.
Ecosystem Collaboration
- ≈50% of executives highlighted partnerships with hyperscalers, AI platform providers, and software vendors as essential for accelerating innovation and monetisation.
Success Metrics
- The predominant metric for AI and digital transformation outcomes remains cost optimisation and operational efficiency, rather than revenue growth or market share.
Company Context
- Headquarters: Noida, India (Technology Hub, Special Economic Zone)
- Global Presence: Over 223,000 employees across 60 countries.
- Consolidated Revenue (FY ending June 2026): US$ 14.8 billion.
“The telecom industry is at a defining moment as AI transforms networks into intelligent, platform‑driven ecosystems… HCLTech’s AI‑intrinsic approach helps telcos accelerate the shift to become TechCos,” – Anil Ganjoo, Chief Growth Officer & Global Head of Telecom, Media and Technology, HCLTech.
