We are shaped not by what we say, but what we do
Africa is of strategic importance to Wipro. It is a rapidly growing market. Nowhere in the world is the impact of digital transformation as visible as in Africa. Over the last decade, we have consistently grown in the region and have helped our clients outperform. Wipro’s mission is to support enterprises and public sectors in Africa to be more innovative and accelerate their digital transformation to be globally competitive.
Wipro has been committed to the African market since 2007. We have more than 400 employees supporting Africa with over 70% local workforce, and a plan to expand our presence in Africa over the coming years.
We have adopted a digital-first strategy for Africa transformation. Core to this strategy is our
‘Big Bets’ program that focuses on digital, cloud, engineering services, and cybersecurity.
