Wipro Supplier Diversity

Diversity and inclusion are intrinsic to Wipro’s business. We are committed to developing an inclusive supply chain that mirrors communities and consumers it serves.

We believe that diverse businesses shall have equal opportunity to compete for contracts and subcontracts held by Wipro. Wipro promises to support diverse businesses in all its business geographies by sourcing goods and services from diverse businesses as much as possible. However, to deepen our engagements, we have launched two flagship programs to support small and diverse businesses with following objectives:

To strengthen businesses owned, managed, and operated by entrepreneurs belonging to historically underrepresented communities
To discover suitable suppliers by widening the ambit of sourcing, promoting innovation and client satisfaction
To enhance resilience and sustainability of the Wipro supply chain

What constitutes a diverse supplier?

Wipro recognizes businesses as diverse when they are at least 51% owned, managed, and operated by individuals identifying with any of following categories:

Minorities and groups eligible for the local government’s affirmative action program
Women
Persons with disabilities
LGBTQ+
Veterans and Disabled veterans
Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB)
Micro, small, or medium enterprises

Program Requirements

To participate in Wipro’s Supplier Diversity Program, diverse suppliers must:

Share valid certifications from government bodies or other appropriate agencies
Track and report their own diverse spend (if any) in relation to Wipro requirements
Actively participate in the Wipro Inclusive Supplier Development and Mentorship (WISDOM) program and other related events organized from time to time

Wipro Inclusive Supplier Development & Mentorship (WISDOM) Program

The WISDOM program is designed to provide management and technical support to diverse suppliers to help them strengthen their businesses and obtain scalability and sustainability in their operations.

Interested suppliers participate in introductory collective session, wherein Wipro business leaders discuss various aspects of business management. Each collective session will be followed by deeper one-on-one conversations between a supplier and relevant Wipro procurement managers to reduce barriers in doing business with Wipro.

Wipro Inclusion & Diversity Opportunity for Vendors (WINDOV) Conclaves

WINDOV conclaves are launched across Wipro’s business geographies to establish direct connections with diverse suppliers. Our intent is to organize global, virtual WINDOV conclaves once a quarter to consciously enhance our supplier diversity while remaining competitive in the market.

WINDOV allows Wipro leaders to connect directly with each entrepreneur, hear their stories and their offerings, and make spot offers to join Wipro global supply chain.

Additional support for diverse partners

Payments within 15 days: To ease cash flow management for small businesses, Wipro is committed to release payments to diverse suppliers within 15 days.

RFP invites: Wipro will send diverse partners invites for all relevant requests for proposals.

Visibility with Wipro: Diverse partners will gain visibility on multiple communication platforms in the form of case studies thus recognizing their efforts and capabilities.

Disclaimer

Wipro will regularly and periodically review the impact of the Supplier Diversity Program and reserves the right to augment any part of the strategy to reach its supplier diversity goals.
