Bangalore, India - February 1, 2010:
Wipro Infotech, the India and Middle East IT Business of Wipro Ltd and a leading provider of IT and business transformation services today announced that it has been named the “Indian IT Company of the Year” by Springboard Research, a leading analyst and IT market research firm. The report titled “India IT Market Predictions 2010”, assigned awards for noteworthy dynamics in the India IT industry in 2009. Springboard Research mentioned in its report that its ‘decision to choose Wipro Infotech as the Indian IT services company of the year is not only due to its impressive revenue growth and client acquisitions, but also for its proactive push toward green technology. The company has invested significantly in its green IT portfolio over the last year to focus on consulting, green data centers, carbon accounting, paperless administration, and freight management solutions.’
The report stated that ‘Wipro Infotech is in the top echelon of Indian IT companies that have performed remarkably well in the recent past. Thanks to its strong focus on the domestic IT market, the company was able to record services growth of more than 40% in 2008-2009. The company has also won several landmark deals across verticals. A significant win was in May, 2009 when Wipro was awarded a multi- million long term outsourcing contract from Unitech Wireless (A Unitech Telenor company). In October 2009, Wipro won a 10 year total outsourcing agreement from Delhi International Airport (P) Limited (DIAL) to provide world class IT Infrastructure and Services for Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA), New Delhi. These significant deals demonstrate the growing maturity of the Indian IT service provider, and show how Wipro built its capabilities rapidly in the domestic market to handle large complex infrastructure environments.
Mr. Anand Sankaran, Sr. Vice President & Business Head, India & Middle East business of Wipro said: “We are happy to be named the Indian IT company of the Year. We have been focusing on the Indian market for a long time now and driving a high growth strategy here.

Going forward, we would like to keep this momentum going and drive transformation for our customers.”
