Wipro's AI Initiatives Free Up Productivity Equivalent to 20,000 Employees
Wipro’s artificial intelligence initiatives have boosted productivity by an amount equivalent to the output of 20,000 employees. These workers were subsequently redeployed within the company as part of a broader shift toward integrating AI into operations and workforce planning. The Indian IT firm is transitioning to a 'human-AI operating model,' with over 100,000 employees undergoing advanced AI-related training and certifications. This aligns with industry trends where major players like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) are also adjusting hiring practices in favor of integrating more AI agents into their workforce. Wipro is expanding its forward-deployed engineering teams to help clients adopt AI, though it has not yet disclosed specific targets for this initiative. Analysts note that Wipro lags behind peers like TCS and Infosys in monetizing AI but remains competitive in terms of training investment.
