Wipro plans to hire more freshers from campuses this year as demand rises

Decision comes when there has been a dip in intake due to tepid demand, increasing automation

Wipro, the country’s third-largest IT services company, is planning to hire more number of freshers from campuses this fiscal year as compared to that of previous fiscal year as the firm sees an uptick in demand in key markets and verticals.

With employee utilisation levels touching a high of 85.2 per cent at the end of June quarter, the company also needs a bench of reserved employees to deploy in newer projects.  “We will start our programme on time this year. Our campus hiring (numbers) for this fiscal year will be higher than the previous fiscal year,” said Saurabh Govil,
