Throughout history, we’ve seen technological innovations come and go. Each discovery humankind makes not only impacts our daily lives, but also opens new doors for us to explore. It’s important to remember, though, that as our society continues to advance, one thing remains constant: human ingenuity.

I’m excited to welcome you to our new innovation newsletter: Ignite. Each quarter, we’ll deliver stories of ingenuity, connection, and responsibility. This newsletter recognizes the people behind both internal and collaborative Wipro initiatives that result in dynamic change each and every day.

Wipro’s innovation ecosystem and our employees will continue to move us forward, thanks to their inventive and industrious nature. We’re taking these moments to recognize and thank those who continue to innovate and help us serve our customers tirelessly. But I also hope these stories serve as a reminder that everyone spanning the technology landscape has the ability to spark change.

All it takes is a good idea and the desire to make a difference.
