Spirit of Wipro

Created to reflect the core of what Wipro stands for, 'The Spirit of Wipro' attempts to bring Wipro culture back to the roots with which we began our journey. This concept is not only rooted in current reality, but it also represents what Wipro aspires to be, thus making it future active.

The Spirit of Wipro' is best represented through the following three statements.

Intensity to win: Make customers successful. Team, Innovate, Excel.

Act with sensitivity: Respect for the individual. Thoughtful and responsible.

Unyielding integrity: Delivering on commitments. Honesty and fairness in action.

Today, Wipro stands on yet another threshold. Our strong foundation in values, our deep expertise in different businesses, along with our presence and goodwill in the global marketplace gives us the opportunity to move towards an exciting future.

'The Spirit of Wipro' represents what the Wipro endeavour is all about. It is the core that has driven each Wiproite over the years and will continue to do so. By encouraging lateral growth, we provide our employees the confidence to look beyond their immediate skill base. This helps them grow within the organisation while creating an awareness of self-initiative. It is this environment of innovative expression that keeps 'The Spirit of Wipro' alive.

Everyday at Wipro is challenging and thought-provoking. What is tested is your drive, enthusiasm and initiative. New ideas are appreciated and innovation is encouraged - if you have a suggestion and a plan to take it forward - you will get all the necessary support to transform it into action.

There is a whole lot that Wiproites do beyond the job per se. We ensure that you get an opportunity to ‘express’ and ‘enjoy’ yourself at the workplace!

We engage in activities with great energy, free spirit, and commitment to human values and this has played a significant role in our success story so far. Active, unhindered participation brings us closer to each other and to ourselves and making work fun and meaningful.

There are numerous events, which are organized for our people throughout the year. These span our people’s interests, the festivals that they celebrate and the fun we ensure they have! Whether it is the Dandiya festivities, the World Environment Day celebrations or a chat with Sri Sri Ravishankar on our employee portal Channel W- it is all happening at Wipro!
