and consulting. The Fortune India 500 ranks it the 29th largest Indian company by
total revenue. It is also ranked the 9th largest employer in India with over 221,000
employees.
The company was incorporated on 29 December 1945 in Amalner, India, by
Mohamed Premji as Western India Vegetable Products Limited, later abbreviated to
Wipro. It was initially set up as a manufacturer of vegetable and refined
oils in Amalner, Maharashtra, British India, under the trade names of Kisan,
Sunflower, and Camel.
During the 1970s and 1975 the company shifted its focus to new opportunities in the
IT and computing industry, which was at a nascent stage in India at the time. On 7
June 1977, the name of the company changed from Western India Vegetable
Products Limited, to Wipro Products Limited. In 1982, the name was changed again,
from Wipro Products Limited to Wipro Limited.
In February 2002, Wipro became the first software technology and services company
in India to be ISO 14001 certified. Wipro Consumer Care and Lighting Group
entered the market of compact fluorescent lamps, with the launch of a range of CFL,
under the brand name of Wipro Smart lite. As the company grew, a study revealed
that Wipro was the fastest wealth creator for five years (1997–2002). It set up a
wholly owned subsidiary company (Wipro Consumer Care Limited) to manufacture
consumer care and lighting products.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 WIPRO AT ITS BEST
1. Work-Life Balance
Amid the pandemic, the major concern of the employees is a balance between
their personal and professional life. However, with or prior to the
pandemic, Wipro offers a good balance to the employees. One of the
employees also commented that getting a call after working hours only
depends on the designation or job role of the employees. Anyone in the
organisation doesn’t contact the employees post working hours until it is
urgent or critical.

2. Work Environment
The working environment is also good at the organisation with employees
commenting on the leave policies and sexual harassment policies that are the
major priority. Wipro ensures that none of the employees doesn’t have to face
any issues while working with them.

3. Brand Name
One of the major reasons to work at Wipro is the brand name that is ruling
the market. The company is famous and is considered one of the top 10 IT
giants.

The employees or colleagues are also friendly and helpful towards each other
at Wipro. They work in coordination and offer proper support to ensure that
