Bangalore, India - November 24, 2010:

Wipro Limited (NYSE:WIT), today announced that it has won the Special Recognition award for ‘Excellence in Gender Inclusivity – Best IT Services and Product Company’ from NASSCOM. The award was presented to Wipro in Bangalore on Monday, 22 November 2010.

Wipro won the award for its innovative and extensive programmes aimed at leveraging diversity through effective leadership, engagement and accountability. “We have matured immensely in the area of Gender Diversity and Inclusiveness. We have a structured program to increase the proportion of women candidates we interview as well as improve the retention of women employees through their life-stages. Our life-stage approach focuses on providing women the exposure, flexibility and empowerment across the various life-stages that they go through. All Wiproites deserve kudos for this recognition from NASSCOM,” said Suresh Vaswani, Joint CEO – IT Business and Member of board, Wipro Ltd. Suresh is also the ‘Diversity Champion’ at Wipro. 

Wipro’s initiatives in diversity are spread across the Employee’s Life Cycle, the Support System within the organization and Governance, touching various aspects under each area that help in enhancing the life of the employee inside Wipro and outside. Wipro’s Diversity council is a 14-member council formed with the objective of creating a dynamic and powerful ‘socio-business network’ which fosters a sensitive and equal-opportunity environment that allows every individual to realize their fullest potential. 

In the past, Wipro has been counted among the top 5 finalists for Stevie Awards – Women Helping Women in Organizations; and has won the 2010 Diversity Council Award for outstanding work in the area of Gender Diversity and Inclusion. Today, Wipro has over 18000 women employees including some in global leadership roles. 

NASSCOM Corporate Awards for Excellence in Gender Inclusivity is the first award in India that encourages, recognises and honours IT and BPO organisations that have implemented policies and practices for Diversity and Inclusivity and enabled women to contribute to the success of the enterprise at all levels in the organization. The awards serve in supporting our industry-wide mission of elevating women leaders and creating a culture in which women employees are supported and encouraged to seek/achieve their fullest potential. The awards emphasise that embracing inclusivity can boost creativity, innovation and the organisation’s bottom line. This would help employers build workplace cultures that are inclusive for women.
