A video showing an elderly man giving a motivational talk is being circulated with the claim that the speaker is Shiv Nadar, the founder of HCL Technologies. In the video, the man discusses financial discipline and a successful life (here & here). This article aims to fact-check the accuracy of this claim.
Claim: Video featuring Shiv Nadar, the founder of HCL Technologies, delivering a motivational talk.
Fact: The individual in the video is not Shiv Nadar but Dr. Velumani, the founder of Thyrocare Technologies Ltd., a network of diagnostic and preventive care laboratories. He is renowned for providing mentorship and delivering motivational talks. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
The individual in this video is not HCL founder Shiv Nadar but Arokiaswamy Velumani, an entrepreneur and the founder of Thyrocare Technologies Ltd., a chain of diagnostic and preventive care laboratories. A reverse image search of the screenshots from the viral video led to multiple videos identifying the individual as Dr. Velumani.
Further search revealed the original video where he delivers the same talk as in the viral clip. Numerous other videos and excerpts from interviews also feature him providing mentorship.
Additionally, comparing images of Shiv Nadar, the founder of HCL, with those of Dr. Velumani further confirms that they are different individuals.
To sum up, Dr. Velumani is falsely identified as Shiv Nadar in this motivational video.
