Wipro's business today
Wipro Limited is an Indian multinational technology company based in Bengaluru, and it provides information technology, consulting and business process services. It is grouped with the large Indian IT services firms known as the Big Six, and its work covers cloud computing, cyber security, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, robotics and data analytics. As of 2025 the company organises its services under four global business lines: technology services, consulting, engineering, and business process services. [2]
The client base is spread across financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, retail and telecommunications, which is what makes the company's revenue steadier than a product company's. A larger share of the workforce moved onto cloud projects during the 2020s, and in 2021 the company announced a one billion dollar investment in its FullStride Cloud Services business. The engineering line, Wipro Engineering Edge, works on semiconductors, embedded systems and industrial software, which is closer to the company's hardware roots than the consulting line is. [2]
The non IT businesses went their own way in 2012, when Wipro demerged them into a private company called Wipro Enterprises. Before that demerger those businesses, which covered consumer care, lighting, furniture, hydraulics, water treatment and medical diagnostics, accounted for about 14 per cent of Wipro's total revenue. The hardware division followed the same logic later: in 2013 Wipro shut down the manufacture of personal computers, laptops and servers, which ended the business that had taken the company into information technology in the first place.

The people numbers are large enough to be a business in themselves. As of March 2024 Wipro had 234,054 employees drawn from 146 nationalities, of whom 36.6 per cent were women, working out of 26 offices in India and 58 overseas. A workforce of that size makes the company one of the larger private employers in the country and makes the founder's original decision to move from soap to software one of the more consequential hiring decisions in Indian business.
