Wipro to expand Chinese operations

BANGALORE: Information and Technology major Wipro Limited would rapidly expand its operations in China and evaluate the possibility of opening a third centre there, its Chairman Azim Premji said.

Premji said the Bangalore-headquartered company currently has two centres in China - at Shanghai and Beijing, employing around 100 people.

"But we are rapidly expanding there (in China) and we will continue to expand there," Premji told a news conference in response to questions on Wipro's Chinese operations.

"At an appropriate stage, we will evaluate whether we need to go to a third location which is not such a large city because probably it will give more stability and better cost," he added.
