This onboarding plan comes after a period of subdued hiring and layoffs in the IT sector.

Wipro Chief Human Resources Officer Saurabh Govil shared the onboarding news during a press conference following the release of the company’s Q3FY25 earnings report.

Govil emphasised a cautious yet consistent hiring approach to avoid overcommitting, as the company reassesses its hiring models.

Wipro has also announced the incorporation of artificial intelligence in its fresher-level hiring, indicating a shift in its recruitment strategy.

In December 2024, Wipro signed a definitive agreement to acquire IT services consulting firm Applied Value Technologies for $40m.

In a stock filing, Wipro said: “AVT helps enterprises transform IT operations through a highly customised and data-driven approach. 

“AVT will augment Wipro’s existing application services capabilities, helping drive new growth opportunities.”
