Wipro started as a vegetable oil trading company in 1947 from an old mill at Amalner, Maharashtra, India founded by M.H.PREMJI. When his father died in 1966, Azim Premji, a graduate in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, took on the leadership of the company at the age 21. He repositioned it and transformed Wipro (Western India Palm Refined Oil Ltd) into a consumer goods company that produced hydrogenated cooking oils/fat company, laundry soap, wax and tin containers and later set up Wipro Fluid Power to manufacture hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders in 1975. At that time, it was valued at $2 million. In 1977, when IBM was asked to leave India, Wipro entered the information technology sector.

In 1979, Wipro began developing its own computers, and in 1981 started selling the finished product. This was the first in a string of products that would make Wipro one of India's first computer makers. In 1980 Wipro moved into software development and started developing customized software packages for their hardware customers.

PAST STRATEGIES: Growth has four faces: organic; acquisitions; diversifications and joint ventures. Premji's growth strategy over the past years shows a marked change from earlier patterns. Between 1966- 2000, Wipro grew through diversification, partnerships and organically, through innovations it pioneered. Today, growth is also through acquisitions and borrowed ideas, and there are fewer partnerships.

Premji's entry into the BPO (business process outsourcing) was remarkably late in coming, and seems to be a somewhat knee-jerk reaction to slowing growth rates in his core businesses. In July 2002 Wipro acquired Spectra mind in a Rs4320mn deal. The takeover caused a few rumblings amongst analysts who felt that Wipro overpaid for India's largest non-captive call-center

RECENT STRATEGIES: IT Services and Products segment accounted for 69% of the Company's revenue during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 (fiscal 2006). Wipro provides its clients customized IT solutions in the areas of enterprise IT services, technology infrastructure support services, and research and development services. The Company provides a range of enterprise solutions primarily to Fortune 1000 and Global 500 companies.

Wipro addresses the banking and financial services segment, the manufacturing sector, and the retail, energy and utilities industries through its range of service offerings. The Company's enterprise solutions division accounted for 63% of its IT Services and Products revenues in fiscal 2006. Wipro's strategy revolves mainly around three points: Service line expansion:-Wipro will build a full port- folio of technology services. The company has already added a number of new services such as package implementation, infrastructure outsourcing (including remote network management), business process outsourcing and so on. Quality leadership:-Wipro has been well-known for embracing cutting-edge quality standards such as six sigma. It has also begun six sigma consulting in an effort to become a global six sigma leader. Investing in human capital:-Wipro Technologies is investing a lot in training, not only on the technical side but also on teaching its engineers how to be consultants.

Building Growth Strategies for 2012 and Beyond, the theme of our first Global CXO study, is an onerous task that may be accomplished with a careful analysis of the key imperatives of global growth and development that can help organizations globally to do business better. Managing top- and bottom-line performance remains the top business priority of CXOs around the globe. However, in working towards this objective, business leadership would be called upon to place a premium on strategic innovation, which will act as the true differentiator in the competitive business arena. Innovate or perish is the dictum. In earlier days, R&D was among the first casualties in times of business distress. But with innovation acquiring a strategic focus, companies have begun to sharpen the focus on innovation when the chips are down. More than two thirds of the surveyed leaders said that the 2008 meltdown made innovation even more of a business imperative. Innovation has another important dimension that relates to timeliness. Getting a product or service swiftly out to market is a critical business tactic and part of every enterprises strategy to outwit competition. Having a faster time-to-market is an imperative both in mature and developing markets, more so in the supercharged business domains of ICT, retail, and automotive.

Adoption of green practices

Going green is an imperative few companies can afford to overlook today. For many years, the adoption of green practices was viewed as an obligation that the current generation owed to future generations. But thats passing. Going green has a strong business case, provided it is underpinned by the innovation imperative. Over time, several leading companies have demonstrated how innovations resulting in the adoption of green practices led to significant business gains and higher profitability. This is the case not only in traditional sectors like mining and manufacturing, but also in the IT domain where several players, for instance, have taken cognizance of the environmental impact that rapid expansion of data centers has brought in its wake. Green IT is thus becoming the norm, facilitated by software technologies like server virtualization and cloud computing.
