At Wipro 79th Annual General Meeting, Chairman Rishad Premji shared how the company is leaning heavily into artificial intelligence to shape its future.
With its 80th year coming up, Wipro is placing AI—especially agent-based systems—at the center of both internal operations and client solutions.
AI Now Core to Wipro’s Daily Work
More than 200 AI agents are now up and running within Wipro, built in partnership with major cloud service providers.
These agents are already doing real work in departments like HR, finance, and legal. They’re handling tasks on their own, not just assisting, and helping the company work faster and more efficiently.
Premji said that Wipro is moving beyond simple AI support tools and is now focused on fully independent systems. “Agentic AI is also making a clear difference in how we operate internally,” he said.
Training the Workforce for AI
Alongside the tech changes, Wipro is also preparing its staff for an AI-heavy future. Most employees have now gone through basic training in generative AI.
Around 87,000 employees have received deeper training suited to their specific roles. This includes people working in sales, HR, delivery, and finance.
Tough Market Conditions in FY25
Wipro’s CEO Srini Pallia addressed the business headwinds the company faced in FY25.
He pointed out that global uncertainties and changes in tariffs created a rough climate, especially in the final quarter. Some clients even paused their tech plans to reassess their budgets and priorities.
Still, Wipro managed to close 63 large deals worth $5.4 billion, including two major ones. Pallia noted that AI played a part in nearly all of them.
AI in Every Deal Going Forward
AI is no longer just a side conversation. It’s now at the heart of almost every deal. Pallia made it clear that going forward, Wipro will include generative AI in all its new offerings.
While some clients are eager to adopt it, others remain cautious, especially when it comes to how countries like China may regulate its use.
Looking ahead to FY26, Wipro plans to push forward with an AI-focused approach to consulting and tech solutions.
Conclusion
Wipro’s use of over 200 AI agents shows how quickly companies are changing the way they work. These tools are already doing tasks on their own in key areas like HR, finance, and legal.
While this helps Wipro work faster and cut costs, it also means some jobs will change or fade out. Routine work may shrink, but new roles will grow around managing and improving AI systems.
Wipro is already retraining thousands of employees, which shows the focus is shifting toward skills that work with AI, not against it. The future will favor those who can adapt and learn.
