Ajai Chowdhry brings decades of technology-industry experience to India’s strategic technology agenda. As co-founder of HCL Technologies Ltd and chairman of the Mission Governing Board of the National Quantum Mission, he is associated with the country’s push to build deeper domestic capability in advanced computing, electronics and emerging technologies.
