Overview
Wipro Limited is among the largest Indian-heritage IT services firms by revenue, reporting US$10.8 billion in revenue for fiscal year 2025 across approximately 234,000 employees as of the fourth quarter. The firm was founded in 1945 as Western India Vegetable Products and pivoted to IT services in the 1980s under chairman Azim Premji. Wipro is dual-listed on the NSE/BSE in India and the NYSE (ticker WIT), with current CEO Srinivas Pallia, who assumed the role in April 2024. Quality assurance and testing sits inside the FullStride Cloud and Engineering business, branded as Wipro Quality Engineering & Testing Services.
Wipro reports a quality engineering bench of more than 18,000 certified test professionals, with particular depth in performance engineering, packaged application regression testing for SAP and Oracle, and embedded engineering testing for automotive, aerospace, and industrial clients through its Engineering Services unit. The practice runs proprietary platforms including Wipro NextGen QA Automation Framework and integrates with Tricentis Tosca, Selenium, Playwright, UFT, LoadRunner, JMeter, and NeoLoad.
Wipro is typically a fit for global enterprises consolidating performance testing and ERP regression into a managed factory, particularly in financial services, energy, utilities, and manufacturing. The firm is less competitive than Cognizant and Infosys on large US healthcare testing engagements where domain depth and US onshore capacity matter most.
