While revenues dipped slightly\u2014down 2% quarter-on-quarter and 2.3% year-on-year in constant currency terms\u2014the company managed to keep operating margins healthy at 17.3%, even expanding them by 80 basis points compared to last year. What really made headlines is Wipro\u2019s successful booking of $5 billion in deals, including two mega deals, a clear nod to its evolving strength in large enterprise contracts.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-xs mt-5 text-base font-[500] first:mt-0 dark:font-[475]\">AI Takes Center Stage<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-0\">Led by CEO Srini Pallia, Wipro management made it clear this quarter: clients now view AI as central to their strategies, and Wipro is eager to lead this shift from experimental to full-scale AI rollouts. Over 200 AI-enabled agents have already been deployed across client operations, streamlining everything from insurance claim processing to boosting telecom network performance. This consulting-led, AI-centric approach was instrumental in securing 16 large deal wins this quarter.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-xs mt-5 text-base font-[500] first:mt-0 dark:font-[475]\">Sector Strengths and Regional Performance<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-0\">The BFSI sector remained a robust area, especially in North America, providing stability amid otherwise challenging conditions. In contrast, Europe showed weakness and some consumer-focused sectors faced headwinds, underscoring the varied pace of recovery across regions.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-xs mt-5 text-base font-[500] first:mt-0 dark:font-[475]\">Financial Health and What Lies Ahead<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-0\">Wipro maintained strong cash flow, kept attrition manageable at 15.1%, and persisted with pricing discipline. However, the real test for Wipro will be converting this impressive pipeline of mega deals and AI products into sustainable, top-line growth in coming quarters. The company\u2019s next act will be about turning current momentum into real, visible results.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Watch the full episode here: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/-Alowdk7Ihk?feature=shared\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/-Alowdk7Ihk?feature=shared<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; A Quarter Marked by Transformation Wipro has kicked off FY26 with a quarter that\u2019s as much about transformation as it is about numbers.
