Wipro to hire 25,000 people in Karnataka: Azim Premji

“We will add 25,000 more IT jobs in Karnataka where we already employ over 55,000 people and are expanding each of our businesses,” Premji said.

Wipro Ltd. will hire 25,000 techies in Karnataka, especially Bengaluru, Chairman Azim Premji said on Wednesday at the state’s global investors meet.

“We will add 25,000 more IT jobs in Karnataka where we already employ over 55,000 people and are expanding each of our businesses,” Premji said.

“We are endorsing the fact that Karnataka is a very hospitable and a very progressive state to investors,” Premji said.

Admitting that Bengaluru had its constrains in terms of infrastructure, Premji said that the city was a source of best technical talent, nice weather, strong science background and cosmopolitan culture.

“I hope Karnataka continues to invest in infrastructure to be one of the fastest growing states in the country,” Premji added.

All of Wipro group's businesses are headquartered in Karnataka, which include IT business, consumer care & lighting, aerospace and Wipro GE healthcare systems.
