Development of behavioral competencies is one of the critical success factors for working in a global organization. Therefore, we have for you a series of specially tailored programs developed by Wipro’s Learning & Development Team. In these modules, you will get ample opportunity to learn through Experiential Learning programs on communication, problem-solving & analytics and collaboration.
Look out for our announcements on the Campus Hiring and apply to us. Once you clear the rigorous selection process, we will make an offer to you to join this program. The 3-day induction is designed to give you an overview of the company and interact with top leaders of finance. We’ve also designed ice-breaker activities to enable you to bond with your new colleagues better.
Your Cohorts sessions start within three months of your joining. The classroom sessions for technical and soft skills are scheduled over the period of two years. We aim to make the classroom sessions interactive in the traditional Indian way of imparting education – the way a Guru teaches a Shishya. The idea is to give you a perspective of the practical situations faced in the industry.
Each technical session has a project work that you are supposed to do in a group. A group of 6 Cohorts typically work on a practical problem (a case study) & solve it. You are helped in this by a mentor assigned to each group; typically a senior manager in the finance team. The output of your group project is presented to a panel that evaluates & ranks each group. The toppers get a special lunch with the CFO, where the CFO gets to know them better & they can ask their questions.
You will have the opportunity to pick up topics of your interest and develop skills (even diverse ones such as foreign languages, programming and public speaking). The concept is that of a self-organized learning environment, where you form study groups and develop these skills guided by a mentor.
In the two years of your Cohorts program, you get to see two roles. This gives you a wide exposure of the finance function quickly and it prepares you for a fast-paced learning and career development.

I handle Direct taxation for Wipro Limited. Wipro Limited being the parent entity, consolidates all the subsidiaries and branches that Wipro has globally. This role requires me to be involved in quarter provision work for entire Wipro Limited group, tax return, tax audit related works, advance tax workings, tax assessments, appeals & litigations, structuring of various deals and businesses from Taxation point of view, etc. I have also had the opportunity to work as a Service Line BFM in India and ME team for about 1.5 years and in International taxation team for about 1 year.
Cohorts is a platform which enables a person to be able to interact with various people across the Finance function (one can interact with anyone without any hesitation), one can get to know how the leaders think on any given situation or a topic & build practical knowledge in areas of work where the person would not have worked earlier. There is role rotation feature as well which enables a person to be able to see multiple roles with in a short span of 2-3 years after joining.

Business Finance Manager for the ‘Service Line - Consulting Services'. It involves revenue estimation and revenue closure for the service line, along with pricing of consulting resources in deals.
'Learn and equip as you work' – is how I would tag Cohorts - Learning becomes so inevitable in this program. With the mandated role change, within the initial 2 years in Wipro, you get a fair idea of business and also understand how central finance functions work. So, I would recommend it for anyone wanting a total and rounded exposure backed with boundless learning.
