Wipro hiring of US citizens abroad now up to 50 per cent

Bangalore, Jun 28 (UNI) Indian homegrown global IT major Wipro Limited, has now increased its hiring locals in the United States up to 50 per cent of its workforce, as a commitment. Over the past six months, Wipro hired over 1,600 employees by attracting and nurturing local talent to drive innovation and help transform clients’ businesses into digital enterprises. During the past decade, Wipro has invested over USD 2 billion in the United States. The company has been focused on creating jobs in the U.S. underscoring its strategy to build a deep reservoir of local talent based out of centers close to its clients. During FY16-17, over 3,000 locals joined Wipro and today, the company has a workforce of over 14,000 in the U.S. Wipro would continue to recruit from top universities to build on the momentum of hiring locally in the United States. Wipro, which counts nearly 300 of the largest employers and innovators in the U.S. as its clients, also hires laterally for senior positions at the company, a company release said here today. The company said it has over 40 facilities across 23 states in the U.S. that are located in close proximity to clients. It has over 1,000 employees each in the states of Florida, California, Georgia and Texas where it has established next-generation local delivery centers. Recently, the company added two multi-client delivery centers: a new hub to create advanced digital offerings in Mountain View, California and another in Farmington Hills, Michigan, staffed predominantly by local talent to offer engineering services to our clients mainly in the automotive segment. Plans are also afoot to expand the existing centers in Tampa and Dallas. These delivery centers provide clients with speed-to-market, access to new and emerging technologies and help create an environment that will foster incremental innovation. The wide geographical foot print also helps Wipro attract local talent from across the country, the release said. MORE UNI RS CS 2005
