Wipro UKI managing director Omkar Nisal said: “We are delighted to be expanding our work with the John Lewis Partnership. Enabling them to modernise and future-proof their business speaks to our deep understanding of their needs from our long-term engagement with them.  

“Through Wipro FullStride Cloud, our deep industry experience, and our vast technology expertise we are helping JLP build a bespoke modernisation program that will realise their business ambitions.”

Wipro is integrating tools such as Vertex AI and Gemini models into its client projects.  

Earlier in 2024, Wipro broadened its collaboration with IBM by introducing the Wipro Enterprise AI-Ready platform.
