Hariprasad Sasidharan, Country Head for Qatar & Kuwait at Wipro Limited said, “Qatar, today offers a great opportunity for Wipro and we believe in combining our industry domain skills with technology to bring business value to our clients. We are seeing demand for propositions like digital, analytics and mobility and it is encouraging to see Qatar leading the investments in some of these areas.”
Wipro has added customers across various sectors and has a strong base in banking, telecom as well as oil & gas verticals. Today, the company serves more than thirty customers in Qatar.
“Over the last fifteen years, Wipro has seen high growth in the Middle East market. Despite the fluctuating oil prices, the IT demand across the region is holding steady and Qatar is in an enviable position due to prolonged budget surplus in the last few years along with adequate reserves to see them through the current market situation. Given the strong pipeline in Qatar, Wipro plans to significantly increase the headcount over the next twelve months and scale up its near shore delivery centers,” said Jack Smies, Vice President and Business Head Middle East, Wipro Limited.
