SWOT ANALYSIS OF WIPRO

STRENGTHS

Global R&D facility – Continuous Innovation:

Wipro has a global Research and development facility. It keeps on innovating new products and services
in the order it retains its customer and attract new clients and shareholders in the market. Its global R & D
is a very strong strength for it. Vast clientele base: its large client base throughout the world gives strength
for it. In its starting years, it first headed into the hardware business, then it started providing software
solutions to them then diversified as a company. The global clients of Wipro Technologies are always a
stronger it. The downturn in one economy can be pacified by performing well in another economy.

High skilled employees across industries:

Wipro of main strength is its highly skilled employees. The HR practices they follow are very much suitable
and sustainable, whereas are the IT industry the attrition rate is very high. Economies of scale – Low-cost
advantage: As they have already had their domestic as well as their global clients, this is an advantage
overall. The economies of scale can be achieved easily when compared to start-ups.

Client satisfaction:

Quality products & Delivery capabilities: Wipro Ltd achieved all these because of its continuous assured
quality providing capacity and commitment. The clients are more satisfied with Wipro.

WEAKNESS

Low operating margin of the other group companies:

Even though the IT sector creates huge profits for Wipro Ltd, the other group companies like customer care
and Lighting are just accounting for only 9% of the total revenue. So, a conglomerate company like Wipro
will get affected if one of its main sectors fails. There are other players who are especially in those same
sectors who already excelled in that sector like HUL, ITC, etc.

• Concentrating on mature markets: Domestic market is huge but is underdeveloped. If Wipro


Technology considers capturing the remaining underdeveloped rural areas like sub metros, it
could have a very strong base in India and can improve its share and can be a No 1 player in
IT the sector. Risk Shying away from making a business investment: To have lower risk, Wipro
does not encourage joint investment with clients. It always refers to the client giving business
and it executes. But in some verticals especially Healthcare a joint investment is required to
reap business benefits.
• Strong focus on Process: Wipro is strongly focused on process rather than people and thus
delays are frequent in making key management decisions. Unstable top management: Since
CEO needs to agree with Mr. Premji’s vision and thus results in conflict and change in top
management. A change in top leadership is not good/productive for middle and upper-level
management.

OPPORTUNITIES

• In the consultancy area and BPO area: As Wipro Consultancy is on the list of top consultancies,
it could achieve more with its vast client base. In the BPO industry, it is in 2nd top company in
India. It could achieve to come to first place.
• Emerging technology: As it has a skilled workforce, it always has the opportunity to come up with
new technologies.
• Huge global market: As it is already a renowned global company, it has a huge scope in the global
market. The company has entered into the global market so now it’s the biggest opportunity
available to the company. Huge potential in the domestic market: It has the potential to capture
more market share in the Indian It industry. So it has both global and domestic opportunities to
expand.

THREATS

• Increasing cost of human capital: As it is well known about the IT and BPO industry, the
attrition rate is always high. So, hiring new people is a huge cost-incurring process every year.
Then the Training and Development cost is also highly cost counting part in IT industry.
• Intense rivalry in It Industry: The rivalry among the Indian It industry is very high because the
entry Barrier is very low. It needs a low investment cost to start an IT company.
• Environmental change: Changing Environmental conditions like economic meltdown and
Changing technology is a big threat to companies in the IT industry. It will face fierce
competition in the areas of e-business and ASP services. Other conglomerates like ITC,
Reliance, and Aditya Birla group may enter various industries and take over the benefits of Wipro
Ltd.
• Exchange rate: This can be a threat to the company as the company is making profits due to the
high exchange rate and if this rate comes down in the future it can lead to a major problem for the
company. Changing Laws and Regulations: Government rules and regulation change may be a
threat for IT industry companies, exactly for Wipro Technologies, which relies more on overseas
projects.

Shift

These are some companies listed and in which I was interacting on the regular basis And my shift changes
depending on the team's needs, originally from 5.30 pm to 3 am, then from 7.30 pm to 5 am according to
demand. The administration offered a pick-up and drop-off service. (Depending on your shift, you might
receive Nodal Pickup and Home Drop or vice versa.) The management was considering ending this service
as I was leaving. The leadership is highly supportive. The workplace has a fairly formal culture.

The hardest aspect of the job is when everything boils down to every second of your work; this can
eventually tyre you out quite quickly, but with time I learnt to adapt to every circumstance here.

The most exciting aspect of the job is chatting with overseas customers to try to answer any questions they
have about the enrolment period and to hear their tales about getting in, getting married, and having their
first child. As an intern, I saw that the company's compensation structure was slightly lower than that of its
employees, but the working environment you will experience will be exaggerated.

Although the internship lasted for three months, there was no single learning or result that could be summed
up in the way that I started it—nervous and with poor self-esteem. Even though my typing speed has grown
from 26 to 35 words per minute, I can't promise it will be incredibly fast by the end of the internship. This
business offers a wide range of advantages and is very functional. I'm thrilled to be working for this
organisation.

HSA and Flexible Spending Accounts: These accounts are primarily used for making tax exemptions
because the contributions made are on a pre-tax basis.

A Health Savings account is available only with HDHP (High Deductible Health Plan) or health funds. The

in the account. Participants can make up to 3600 individual contributions and 7200 for family coverage.
Can be used for medical expenses up to the age of 65, and for any other purpose after 65 years of age.

HCFSA: Health Care Flexible Spending Account is used to meet ineligible medical, dental, and
vision expenses. The leftover balance can be carried forward to next year for 2.5 months or to the
amount of $ 500. It can be availed if the participant is enrolled with any medical plan with
the employer. The maximum limit is 2250.

DCFSA: Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account is used to meet expenses for dependents
such as children’s daycare expenses, etc. No amount of LPFSA can be carried forward to next
year.
LPFSA: Limited Purpose Flexible Spending Account is used when a participant has both HSA and
HCFSA. In this case, medical expenses are reimbursed out of HSA, and dental and vision expenses are
reimbursed out of HCFSA which becomes LPFSA.

ANALYSIS AND FEEDBACK

The overall exposure which I have got at Wipro was extremely good. They have given us real exposure of the
corporate world in the last 3 months. They involved us in end-client services wherein real-time customer
engagement was executed.

The mentors were insightful and provided thorough guidance throughout the internship duration and the
managerial assistance and motivation encouraged us to work wholeheartedly, achieve the targets and learn
the most out of the minimum.

It was really a great opportunity for me as an MBA Graduate to work in Wipro as a Customer Service
Representative.

CONCLUSION

This three-month internship was beneficial for me as an MBA graduate to explore the job profile and get real
exposure to corporate. There were two major clients assigned to me and I could show an impact by achieving
the positive performance target by customer satisfaction surveys. This helped me in understanding the business
outsources by the company at the international level and also the health and medical insurance policies of
North American regions. This project is the overall work that I have undertaken in Wipro for the last three
months which helped me build a rigid base for a flexible career ahead.
