Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT, BSE: 507685, NSE: WIPRO), a leading
technology services and consulting company, today announced the
appointment of Sanjeev Jain as the Chief Operating Officer
effective immediately. Sanjeev succeeds Amit Choudhary, who is
stepping down to pursue opportunities outside the organization.
Sanjeev will report to Srinivas Pallia and will continue to be a
member of Wipro’s Executive Committee.
Sanjeev joined Wipro in 2023 as the Global Head of Business
Operations. He brings over 30 years of experience in leading large,
diverse teams, scaling up global operations, and deploying Lean Six
Sigma and design thinking principles to drive operational
excellence and business transformation.
Over the past year, Sanjeev has been leading Wipro’s talent
supply chain, including Wipro’s gig work platform, TopGear, as well
as talent skilling, global mobility, talent acquisition, and
business resilience functions. He has played a key leadership role
in the development and deployment of Wipro’s AI training and
upskilling strategy.
As Chief Operating Officer, Sanjeev will be responsible for
continuing Wipro’s journey of building a client-centric delivery
organization focused on driving sustainable, profitable, and
delivery-led growth. He will oversee Global Business Operations,
the Chief Information Office, the Chief Information Security
Office, and the Enterprise Risk Management function and continue to
work closely with Wipro’s leadership teams across the organization
on transformation initiatives.
“In the short time that Sanjeev has been with Wipro, he has
developed strong relationships with on-the-ground delivery teams
and made a significant impact on our strategic thinking and
execution prowess,” said Srinivas Pallia, Chief Executive
Officer and Managing Director of Wipro Limited. “Under his
leadership, we’ve built out our approach to AI training and
upskilling and trained over 225,000 of our people in AI principles.
Sanjeev has also been instrumental in devising our career
development strategy for next-gen associates and significantly
enhancing our utilization. As COO, he will be responsible for
continuing to simplify our operating model, building a
client-centric delivery organization, and driving operational
excellence with a focus on execution rigor and speed.
“I would like to thank Amit for his leadership over the last two
years and for building a strong operations foundation and structure
that will be invaluable as we move forward. Amit will be with us
until the end of May, working closely with Sanjeev and me to ensure
a smooth transition.”
Commenting on his appointment, Sanjeev Jain said, “I am
honored and excited to take on the role of Chief Operating Officer.
I look forward to further strengthening our operational and
delivery capabilities to bring more value to our clients.”
Prior to joining Wipro, Sanjeev held leadership roles at Kyndryl
Holdings (IBM spin-off), IBM, Cognizant, and GE. In his previous
roles, Sanjeev enabled profitable growth by integrating the
end-to-end talent supply chain, driving margin expansion,
simplifying processes, and strengthening the operating rhythm.
Sanjeev is a distinguished alumnus of IIM-Mumbai and a certified
Master Black Belt from GE. He will be based in Bengaluru.
