Wipro Announces AI-Native Business & Platforms Unit to Complement Core Services and Drive Next Phase of Growth

Wipro Limited, a leading AI‑powered technology services and consulting company, announced the launch of a dedicated AI-Native Business & Platforms Unit to complement its services business. This strengthens Wipro’s position in a “services as software” world, placing it at the forefront of innovation while delivering Consulting-led, AI-powered transformation for clients.

With targeted investments and a distinct operating model, the unit will accelerate the development of enterprise‑grade agentic AI solutions and enhance outcome‑based value creation. It will also incubate new AI‑led business streams through an invest-build-partner approach, working in close collaboration with Wipro Ventures and its broader partner ecosystem.

The business unit will bring together a rich portfolio of platforms and AI-native businesses. It will own and scale Wipro Intelligence’s platform assets, including industry platforms such as NetOxygen (AI‑powered lending), CROAMIS (integrated aviation cargo operations), IHS and HPS (healthcare platforms), Enterprise Telco AI, and delivery platforms such as WINGS and WEGA. Supported by dedicated forward-deployed engineering teams, it will help clients unlock value faster, strengthen Wipro’s integrated platforms and services offerings, and enable more scalable, non-linear growth.

He will continue to report to the CEO and MD Srini Pallia. Nagendra is an accomplished leader with a track record of building high-performing businesses and scaling innovative platforms and transformative solutions, underpinned by deep expertise and trusted relationships with clients and partners.
