More WIRE STORIES about this company

 PROFILE
One of India's largest companies, Wipro not only sells light bulbs but can deliver global support should one fail. Nearly half of the company's sales come from its global information technology (IT) services division (Wipro Technologies), which supplies clients such as NIKE, Cisco Systems, and Lucent Technologies with consulting, R&D, and global support services. Another third of sales come from Wipro Infotech, which offers IT outsourcing and related services in India. Most of the balance comes from its consumer care and lighting unit, which sells cooking oil, soaps, and light bulbs. Chairman Azim Premji's 85% stake in Wipro (founded by his father in 1945) has made him one of the wealthiest men on the planet.
