What stands out
What this company does
Wipro is a large technology consulting company that other businesses hire to manage their computer systems and digital projects. The vast majority of its revenue (money earned from sales before costs are subtracted) comes from providing these IT services, like developing custom software or managing cloud computing, to clients all over the world. This matters because many large corporations rely on experts like Wipro to run their complex tech operations, creating a steady demand for its services across various industries.
Wipro began in 1945 in India, not as a technology company, but as a maker of vegetable and refined oils. After the founder's death, his son Azim Premji took over and started to diversify the company. Recognizing the rise of computers, Wipro entered the IT industry in the 1980s, initially making minicomputers. A major turning point was the shift to providing software services to companies overseas in the 1990s, which set the stage for its global growth. In 2012, Wipro separated its non-IT businesses to focus entirely on technology, consulting, and outsourcing services.
Wipro helps other businesses use technology to solve their problems and operate more efficiently. Think of them as a technology and consulting partner for large companies. For example, they might help a bank build a new mobile banking app, manage a retailer's online store, or use artificial intelligence (AI) to improve a factory's production. They provide a wide range of services from designing technology systems and providing advice (consulting) to managing a company's day-to-day computer operations.
This is Wipro's largest and most important business, making up the vast majority of its revenue. It provides a wide array of technology services to companies in many industries like banking, healthcare, and manufacturing. These services include developing and maintaining software applications, moving a company's data and computing to the cloud (a network of remote servers), and protecting them from cyberattacks. Essentially, businesses pay Wipro to manage their complex technology needs so they can focus on their own core operations.
This is a smaller part of Wipro's business that primarily serves the Indian market. In this segment, Wipro sells technology products made by other companies. This includes things like servers, networking equipment, and software for businesses, government agencies, and schools. Think of it as a reseller of technology hardware and software, providing the essential tools that businesses need to run their IT systems.
Wipro is heavily focused on artificial intelligence (AI), aiming to build it into the services it offers to clients to help them transform their businesses. They are also making a big push into cloud computing, helping their customers move their operations to more flexible and efficient cloud platforms. Another key area is strengthening their consulting services, which means providing more high-level advice to businesses on how to use technology to achieve their goals. The company is also concentrating on winning larger, long-term contracts with major clients in key industries and geographic markets.
