Ajai has been a key force in driving the growth of HCL Infosystems. The credit of setting up HCL's overseas operations, starting with Singapore in 1980 goes to him. During this tenure he extensively covered South Asian Markets including Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and the People's Republic of China, expanding business operations, which paved the way towards enhancing HCL's core competencies in bringing the best international technologies to the domestic market.

A great believer in manufacturing potential of India, Ajai has relentlessly advocated the cause of manufacturing in India to many non-Indian MNCs, Industry bodies and Government. An absolute stickler for customer focus, he himself spends significant time personally listening to customers.
Ajai sensed an emerging opportunity early in the telecom and imaging domain and today HCL Infosystems is poised to exploit this opportunity to offer a richer bouquet of technology products to its customers.
