Wipro Technologies, the outsourcing services unit of India’s Wipro Ltd. (507685.BY), said there is no impact to its hiring plans for this fiscal year due to global uncertainties and that it plans to hire 25%-30% more entry-level staff next year on expectations that demand for software services will rise.
“We have not seen any impact, from this business environment change, on hiring,” Priti Rajora, global head of talent acquisition, told Dow Jones Newswires recently.
Rajora declined to comment on the number of entry-level employees it plans to hire in the current fiscal year through March and next year.
Wipro is India’s third-largest software exporter by sales after Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. and Infosys Ltd. Its upbeat hiring outlook comes amid concerns that economic uncertainties in the U.S. and Europe–the main markets for outsourcing services–may affect the growth of India’s technology companies.
