Days after Pallia took charge of the top office, Wipro appointed Malay Joshi, a Wipro veteran for 28 years, as CEO of Americas 1, the company's largest market. Early this month, Wipro appointed Hari Shetty, a Wipro veteran for 31 years, as chief strategist and sales excellence officer of the company.
Again, this month, Wipro saw the exit of two former Capgemini executives and Delaporte's hires — chief operating officer, Amit Choudhary and Anis Chenchah, CEO of APMEA.
