Wipro Technologies, the Global IT Services division of Wipro Limited
{{NYSE|WIT}} (incorporated 1946,
in operation since 1945) is an India-based global IT services, IT solutions and technology
services major. It is headquartered in Bangalore ,
India
and is listed on the Bombay Stock
Exchange, National Stock Exchange of India and the New York
Stock Exchange. As of 2004,
it was the 4th largest company in the world in terms of market capitalization in IT
services.
In
the 1970s Wipro embarked on an
ambitious phase of expansion and diversification.
It
was in the early eighties that Wipro made its foray into the Infotech arena. An
energetic, committed team of professional R & D and marketing managers came
together in Bangalore
in 1980. With this began the Wipro Infotech story. In a small lab at the Indian
Institute of Science (IISc), the team developed the first Indian 8086 chip.
Wipro
has transcended from being a service provider to being a consultant, guide and
trusted partner.
Product
segment:
Wipro
was set up in the backdrop of the small town of Amalner in Maharashtra in 1945. Primarily an oil factory, the chief
products were Sunflower Vanaspati and 787 laundry soap (a by-product of the
Vanaspati operations). The company was called Western India Products Limited,
with a modest presence in Maharashtra and
Madhya Pradesh.
Objective:
Coming off its strongest year since 2000, Wipro grew at 43%
in 2004. The company has branched out from offerings such as software
development, R&D, and applications maintenance to providing remote
infrastructure management. Financial the worl’s largest third-party R&D
provider. Wipro, which gets the majority of its revenue from the U.S. , is pushing further in Europe
and expects to make some acquisitions there this year. At home, the company’s
back-office operation, Wipro BPO, got a jolt when Chief Executive Raman Roy
quit in early June to start another business. Office jobs such as insurance
processes in order to achieve greater profitability and to stem the high
