WIPRO Make Progress & Thrive
It serves enterprises in various industries primarily in the India market, which comprise the
government, defence, IT and IT-enabled services, telecommunications, manufacturing,
utilities, education, and financial services sectors. Wipro Limited has a collaboration
agreement with FEV Europe GmbH to develop and market software defined vehicles; and IP
Infusion to deliver validated disaggregated networking solutions, as well as has strategic
partnerships with Apptio, Inc. and DataRobot, Inc. With the exception of manufacturing,
Wipro’s sales increased in the previous quarter across all important sectors. Consumer and
energy were among the growth drivers, as were banking, financial services, and insurance.
Seeing financial data for a couple of years, the company is focusing more on acquisition
and expansion, which indicates that it has big plans ahead and is optimistic about the future
outcomes. Capital expenditure has remained flat even with an increased scale which
indicates market saturation and moderates the upcoming growth.
● It has sufficient liquidity to pay any outstanding obligations which is a good sign
from the point of view of investors.
● The operations of the company is intact as the net profit margin has increased
during the year 2021 from 2020 and even though revenue decreased in Q1 '21 , it
showed speedy recovery after covid. Wipro managed to reduce its operating costs,
lower its prices and provide innovative products to its consumers.
The company believes in adopting best practises of corporate governance. Corporate
governance principles are enshrined in the Spirit of Wipro, which forms the core values of
Wipro. These guiding principles are also articulated through the Company’s code of
business conduct, Corporate Governance Guidelines, charter of various sub-committees
and disclosure policy. The mission statement clearly states “to help create a new kind of
professional services firm that works with both business and IT executives to innovate and
deliver, end to end solutions that create measurable value for our clients”. The World Most
Ethical (WME) Companies designation recognizes companies that truly go beyond making
statements about doing business “ethically” and translate those words into action. WIPRO
was named as one of the most ethical companies in the world. It has good employee
benefits , they have a culture of accountability, focus on outcome as opposed to a focus on
effort, which was very much the culture of Wipro before. Premji dedicated a lot of time on a
programme called “5 habits” which included five aspects: being respectful & responsive,
communicating properly & having trust and showing stewardship.
Overall, I think the company is well-managed.
Profitability: TCS rebound last year is visible through its profit which is the highest among
the competitors and second to that was Infosys. TCS and Infosys' profits surged by 12.27%
and 11.77% on a year-on-year basis respectively in Q3FY22. Wipro's Q3 net profits, though,
remained largely flat at ₹2,969 crore, it is expected to have robust demand. Increase in
profit from last year with the exception of HCL, shows the sustainability of the business in
the long term
A3 Company Narrative:
Market: Track record of the company is good with an excellent balance sheet. The
company is piloting new initiatives for metaverse, building proof-of-concept and virtual
laboratories in a bid to equip themselves for the transition. This would give them access to a
whole new market and audiences. The management has indicated that any incremental
savings from optimization through things like automation, AI etc. will be invested back to
drive growth in the near future.
The operation of the company is handled by the top management very well . High cost of
attrition and hiring led to low profit margin last year. To remedy this, they moved to a
simplified operating model which focuses on an easier delivery model that will no doubtedly
improve their performance, resilience and better accountability.
Business Model: Wipro uses a mass-market business model in which it targets all
different types of customers whether it’s a high-end company or a small business. Wipro
technology infrastructure is the best Indian IT infrastructure service provider in terms of
revenue, people and customers. Due to the high competition in the market, it uses a
competitive pricing strategy ( prices lower than its competitors) which helps them stand out
in the market and with its quality services, it has a higher market audience.
Management: Company’s Board consists of global leaders and visionaries who provide
strategic direction and guidance to the organisation. As on March 31,2021, the Board
comprised two Executive Directors, six non-executive Independent Directors and one
non-executive non-independent Director.
