Wipro, one of India's leading IT services companies, is reportedly laying off hundreds of mid-level employees as part of its 'Left-Shift' strategy to improve margins.
The move comes after Wipro acquired consulting firm Capco for $1.45 billion in 2021. The company aims to address its margin and profitability challenges, with its December quarter margin standing at 16%, lower than its peers.
The job cuts are focused on mid-level executives onsite, especially in Capco, where expensive resources are being rationalized. Wipro's CEO, Thierry Delaporte, faces the challenge of balancing margin improvement and growth amid conflicting goals.
