Mr Nadar, who was in Chennai along with his daughter to announce developments in their educational initiatives, said his daughter’s role will be confined to just HCL Corp.

She joined in April this year. She runs the treasury, all the new investment decisions will be taken by her," Mr Nadar told ET in an exclusive interview. He added that he will focus on "developing a vision for the group".

After having built the companies from scratch into world-beating corporations, some of the key leaders are either receding into the background or giving up their positions to do other things.
