Rishad Premji flags unchanged IT outlook, focuses on AI push

Bengaluru: Wipro chairman Rishad Premji stated that the external environment is still volatile, highlighting macroeconomic pressures, tariff uncertainties, and evolving client priorities. "While the environment hasn't worsened, it hasn't improved significantly either. Clients are acclimatising to a world that is inherently more unpredictable," Premji said at the company's 79th annual general meeting (AGM) held virtually on Tuesday. Despite a 2.3% year-on-year decline in the 2024-25 financial year's IT services revenue (in constant currency) to $10.5 billion, Wipro reported a 18.9% rise in net income to Rs 13,140 crore and a 90-basis point expansion in operating margins to 17.1%.

Wipro CEO Srini Pallia said AI is becoming central to how Wipro delivers value. "Clients want AI-powered solutions that deliver velocity, efficiency, and measurable business outcomes. Every major deal now has AI at its core," he said. Wipro won 63 large deals worth $5.4 billion in 2024-25 financial year including two mega deals. On the HR front, Wipro is doubling down on building future-ready talent. Nearly 87,000 employees completed advanced training in generative AI, while the company partnered with 63 colleges to redesign curricula and boost industry readiness among graduates. "We are building an AI-first workforce, starting with me," Premji said. Premji is betting big on the firm's AI-first strategy and deeper client engagement to navigate an uncertain global business environment. Attrition for the year stood at 15%, down from previous years, and the company's subcontractor workforce is steady at 9.5% of total headcount. Leadership development has also taken centre stage. "Through the Wipro Leadership Institute, we are identifying and fast-tracking high-potential talent into critical roles," Pallia said. Diversity and inclusion remain integral to Wipro's HR strategy. Women now comprise 37% of the overall workforce and 33% of its independent board members. The company was recognised as a DEI Lighthouse by the World Economic Forum this year. "We are creating a multi-generational, inclusive workplace. Flexibility, well-being, and tailored support have become core to our people's practices," Premji said. Wipro also designed a well-being framework addressing physical health, mental wellness, and work-life balance.

Reduced budget for greenbelt upkeep triggers RWA backlash in Gurgaon

Gurgaon: GMDA's urban environment division has invited RWAs to take over the upkeep of greenbelts in front of their societies at the revised rate. But GMDA's recent move to reduce the greenbelt maintenance rate from Rs 4 to Rs 2.75 per square metre per month has not gone down well with RWAs, who say the new rate is not viable and does not reflect the rising cost of manpower, equipment and upkeep. RWAs pointed out the revision in the rate compromises the quality of upkeep in landscaped areas and might discourage resident-led maintenance efforts in the future. "We are willing to take up the maintenance since our portion of the greenbelt is small, but for larger areas, it is not feasible. Besides, GMDA must first develop the greenbelts. Most are either encroached upon or become a dumping ground," general secretary of Sector 9A Suraj Bhola said. Some RWAs also pointed out the disparity between GMDA and MCG standards. "MCG provides Rs 4.20 per sqm for park maintenance and even then we have to pitch in from our own funds," RWA president of Sector 46 Rajkumar Yadav said. "It seems GMDA is unaware of the real costs involved — manpower, equipment and inflation. RWAs are willing stakeholders, but only if authorities provide adequate financial support," Yadav said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo You Can Also Check: Gurgaon AQI | Weather in Gurgaon | Bank Holidays in Gurgaon | Public Holidays in Gurgaon The GMDA proposal — for the upkeep of greenbelts — followed a recent tender of Tau Devi Lal Park located in Sector 22, in which Rs 2.75 per sqm emerged as the lowest bid. GMDA has now offered the same rate to RWAs willing to take up similar work. As of now, there are around 140 MoUs signed between GMDA and RWAs, corporates and NGOs for the maintenance of greenbelts and parks. A senior official of GMDA said, "We started the tendering process for Tau Devi Lal Park and since Rs 2.75 was the accepted rate, this price has been shared with RWAs. A few RWAs have already agreed and are coming on board. Those who are willing and able will be given first priority. For the rest, the work will either be allotted to agencies or handled under CSR." But RWAs say the rate cut ignores rising costs of horticultural maintenance and burdens residents financially. Royal Green Owners Condominium Association (RWA) in Sector 92, for instance, has been maintaining the greenbelt outside its main gate since 2019. In 2023, it signed an MoU with GMDA to officially maintain a 500-metre stretch. Now, it faces the prospect of continuing the work under protest. "We will have no option but to maintain it at Rs 2.75 under protest. Even at Rs 4, we were contributing from our own funds. This rate cut makes it even harder. GMDA has around 500km of greenbelt area, which is still underdeveloped and even a small fragment of green cover is maintained through either CSR or RWAs like us," president of Rising Homes RWA Praveen Malik said.

40 illegal structures at Sarkhej's Bader Lake to be razed from July 18

Ahmedabad: The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has ordered the demolition of 40 illegal commercial units at Sarkhej's Bader Lake, with action beginning Thursday. This move clears the way for the lake's long-stalled development. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now For three years, illegal constructions on the lake's land prevented the AMC from proceeding with its Rs 8-10 crore development plan. Legal committee chairman Prakash Gurjar said, "There were 40 illegal commercial constructions on the lake, and 24 petitions were filed in the Gujarat high court. The court dismissed it all, and we issued a letter ordering the demolition of these illegal 40 commercial constructions starting Thursday. " The AMC's legal department presented detailed reports, including measurements of the lake's land and roads from DILAR, proving the encroachments were indeed on lake land. Following the HC's dismissal of the petitions, the estate department received instructions to commence demolition from Thursday. The AMC has also proactively ordered the filing of a caveat in the HC. With these illegal structures removed, the Bader Lake development project can now finally proceed. MSID:: 122581667 413 |
