Mumbai: In a bid to streamline succession, global technology company HCLTech’s Co-founder Shiv Nadar has gifted 47 per cent shareholding in the company's promoter firms to his daughter, Roshni Nadar Malhotra. 

According to a company stock exchange filing, Nadar is transferring 47 per cent shareholding in Vama Sundari Investments (Delhi) Pvt. (Vama Delhi) and 47 per cent shareholding in HCL Corp.
