source ↗Research gaps: The session ran out of web searches, and the primary Mint article on the 2025 gift could not be fetched directly (Wikipedia citation used). Exact percentages the promoter entities hold in HCLTech were not verified. No real estate, lawsuits or regulatory actions were found in the fetched sources. A US 'Shiv Nadar Foundation' (Santa Clara, CA; EIN 27-2128696) appears on ProPublica, but its tie to the Indian foundation was not confirmed, so it was left out.
