Roshni Nadar Malhotra, daughter of HCL Group Founder Shiv Nadar, today said that she will continue to stay away from the day to day operations of HCL but plans to invest $1 billion in the next five years for the Foundation's activities.

The Foundation focuses on philanthropic activities. Malhotra told reporters her role is to guard the investments made by the foundation and make sure they are invested properly.

“My job is to look after all our investments and ensure that we grow,” she said.

At present, she oversees operations of VidyaGyan schools, Shiv Nadar University and SSN college of Engineering.

Asked whether she would extend her involvement to publicly-listed HCL Technologies and HCL Corporation, she said that she was intent on growing the Foundation.
