Wipro started in 1945 as a vegetable oil company in Maharashtra, which is a fun fact to have ready, and became one of India's biggest IT services firms. It's headquartered in Bengaluru and works for large companies worldwide, mostly on technology. Its consulting work sits alongside its technology business.
Who it suits
Mostly Indian graduates who want a large technology and consulting employer at home, and students elsewhere interested in technology consulting. Like Infosys, it's a different job from strategy consulting at MBB, so apply knowing that.
