Wipro to hire 100 graduates every year for global edge

 Wipro CEO T K Kurien says the company is working towards becoming a truly global one, with a senior management that is diverse in terms of nationality and one that has more women.

"Wipro of the future has to be different. We can't live with traditional management structures. About 37% of Wipro's population is women, but how many women do we have in senior management? About 88% of our business is outside India, but how many senior people do you see of different nationalities?" Kurien told TOI in an interview.

From this year on, the company intends to recruit every year a special group of 100 fresh college graduates in India, UK, US, Germany, France, the Nordics and South Africa. This Global 100 will be recruited after an intense psychometric process and their compensation will be the same wherever they are hired from. Each will be moved to different roles in different countries after a couple of years in each role. "When they do that, they become global citizens. They become citizens of Wipro, and not citizens of a particular country. They will be able to connect and create linkages across the world. India is not the centre of the world for us," Kurien said.
