- India’s number four IT services firm Wipro (WIT) on Saturday said it had appointed insider Srini Pallia as its new top boss and managing director, succeeding Thierry Delaporte.
- Pallia’s appointment is effective immediately.
- Pallia is a longtime employee of the company, having joined Wipro (WIT) in 1992 and most recently serving as chief executive for the firm’s Americas operations.
- The company said Delaporte would step down “to pursue passions outside the workplace.” His five-year term was originally set to end in July 2025.
- “Over the past four years, Wipro (WIT) has undergone a major transformation under the most challenging external conditions. Srini has been an integral part of this journey,” Rishad Premji, the Indian company’s chairman, said in a statement.
- “Thierry will continue until the end of May, working closely with Srini and me to ensure a smooth transition,” Premji added.
