Wipro to hire 10 to 12 thousand people this fiscal year

Major IT company Wipro announced on Friday that, as part of a ramp-up for expansion, it plans to hire 10,000–12,000 workers in FY25.
The IT major with headquarters in Bengaluru went on pledging to keep all of its commitments to candidates, with CHRO Saurabh Govil stating,

"We would be completing all our backlogs of offers made this fiscal, a commitment to the people we have made offers (to)." Wipro, which reported a 4.6 per cent increase in net profit for Q1FY25 at Rs 3,003.2 crore, is looking to hire both on-campus and off-campus during the fiscal. "We would be onboarding around 10,000-12,000 people this fiscal. We also have relationships and partnerships with certain institutes, so we will go to these institutes and off-campus for hiring...," he said, adding that the firm is looking for similar numbers next year.

"Very clearly, we are building muscle so that we are there -- ready -- as growth comes back," he said." We are seeing a marginal improvement in headcount. After a break of a year, we have started onboarding freshers from campus. We onboarded about 3,000 people this quarter," he said.

This comes in the backdrop of Wipro's biggest competitors TCS and Infosys also stated their plans to hire more freshers and employees.
