Wipro Has Robust Hiring Plans For The Second Half Of FY; To Hire Candidates With These Skills
Saurabh Govil, who is the chief human resources officer at Wipro, has revealed that the leading IT services company in India has “robust” hiring plans for the upcoming second half of the financial year.
The company is planning to get onboard freshers and laterals during the third and fourth quarters as well. While he didn’t specify the magnitude of hiring, he did say that the hiring will be across the US, Europe, and India.
The company will be looking for candidates skilled in new-age technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), digital, and the internet of things (IoT).

Employees in bands up to B3 account for about 80% of the company’s workforce. As the total headcount in Wipro is more than 1,80,000, and 80% of this means 1,45,000 employees of Wipro.
