Wipro chairman Rishad Premji has expressed confidence that the company will emerge stronger from the COVID-19 crisis.
“I am confident that we will emerge from this crisis, a stronger Wipro and a more valuable partner to our clients than ever before. The next few months will be critical organisations as they build their resilience in order to persist, resurrect their businesses and master the new business environment," Premji was quoted as saying by Times Now.
Premji said as companies are trying to survive the economic impact triggered by the pandemic, rapid adoption of technology has been accelerating.
More than 90% of Wipro's employees are working from home. Premji said the company's work model has changed forever and will never go back fully to the old ways of working. "We will increasingly leverage more technology to onboard, induct, train and engage with our employees, and our workforce will never come back to a 100% work from office mode," he said.
Wipro is ready to welcome Theirry Delaporte as CEO and MD next month.
