Wipro in Africa

The pace of business and technological change will only accelerate in the coming years and the African market sits at the intersection of this innovation. Africa has been our most dynamic and diverse market to date, becoming the logical focus for Wipro and one of our premier vehicles for accelerated growth.

Wipro commands a strong presence in the African markets since 2007, having helped leading organizations across the region in their business transformation journey. We have gained deep knowledge about the African market dynamics during this time, which combined with our global business experience, execution excellence and leadership in diverse technologies makes us the partner of choice to help them do business better.

'Client value enablement' lies at the core of all our engagements in Africa, and we strive to achieve this goal with our global delivery capabilities (onsite, near-shore and offshore), expertise, collaboration, risk tolerance, and price/cost saving proposition.
