Wipro’s stock faced a decline of 0.9%, hitting an intra-day low of ₹261.70 as the company shifted its global business strategy to better align with client expectations. This adjustment comes at a time when concerns about a potential recession in the U.S. and other challenging macroeconomic factors loom large. Wipro has now experienced a 13% decrease in share value year-to-date, making it one of the biggest losers on the Nifty index.

Leadership Changes Amid Restructuring

In addition to the strategic realignment, Wipro has announced the departure of Jo Debecker, who led the company’s FullStride cloud services division for the past three years. This exit marks the 10th high-profile leadership change since Pallavi Shroff took over as CEO on April 6. Notably, seven out of the ten leadership vacancies have been filled by internal candidates, showcasing Wipro’s commitment to promoting talent from within.

A Pattern of Organizational Restructuring

This recent shift represents Wipro’s second organizational restructuring in just three years, following a similar change in April 2023 when Thierry Delaporte was at the helm as CEO. These frequent adjustments highlight the company’s ongoing efforts to adapt to the rapidly evolving technological landscape.

Q3 Performance Highlights

Despite the challenges, Wipro reported a 24.5% year-over-year increase in its consolidated net profit for the third quarter of FY25, amounting to ₹3,353.8 crore. This is a significant rise from the ₹2,694.2 crore profit recorded in the same quarter the previous year. Additionally, Wipro’s revenue from operations reached ₹22,319 crore, showing slight growth from ₹22,205 crore in Q3 FY24.

Comparing Wipro’s Performance with Nifty 50
