SPIRIT OF WIPRO
The Spirit is an indivisible synthesis of all three statements. It means manifesting intensity to win, acting with sensitivity and being unyielding on integrity all the time.
Intensity to Win [ Make customers successful | Team, Innovate, Excel ]
- This is the desire to stretch, to achieve that which seems beyond our grasp. This is aiming for maximum. This is the ardour to do our best, the hunger to be the best. This is the devotion to challenging our limits, it is about realizing our potential, and about expanding our potential.
- It is not about winning at all costs. It is not about winning every time. It is not about winning at the expense of others.
- It is about working together to create synergy. It is realising that I win when my team wins; my team wins when Wipro wins; and Wipro wins when its customers win, when its stakeholders win.
- It is about innovating all the time. It is a continuous endeavour to do better than last time.
- It is the Spirit of fortitude, the Spirit of never letting go… ever.
- At its highest vision, respect for the individual is unqualified. The core of this sensitivity lies in understanding that every being, however different, is equal. The spirit of democracy underlies our notion of sensitivity… we believe in a society where each citizen sees the ethic of equity, the essentiality of diversity, the ethos of justice, and is thus driven to social action. It is seeing each of us is inextricably embedded in the same social fabric.
- The other source of respect is trust. Trusting that every individual is driven by learning, that each individual would like to grow, that every individual strives for a meaningful life and is intrinsically driven to do his/her best. Therefore, true respect means creating conditions in which every individual grows to realise his/her promise and potential.
- We are responsible for, and have an obligation to live in harmony with, our ecological environment. We should actively act to preserve nature, and refrain from any action that harms ecology.
- Thus, when I act with thoughtfulness, act responsibly, act with empathy… I act with sensitivity.
- Integrity is a commitment to searching for and acting on the truth. “Truth” is a word with many manifestations – it means keeping one’s word; it also means understanding and realising one’s highest vision of oneself.
- On integrity, there will be no compromise… we will always act to establish the foremost standards of honesty and fairness.
- Integrity is a beacon. It is what guides us, gives us direction… it is not a straitjacketing laundry list of do’s and don’ts.
- Integrity is being ethical beyond doubt. It is living the law of the land in spirit. It is what will give us the confidence to stand up to any scrutiny.
- I am the litmus test of my integrity. For integrity is the manifestation of conscience.

Azim Premji Foundation says it "dedicates itself to the cause of Universalization of Elementary Education in India". The organisation has over the years been instrumental in improving the quality of general education, particularly in rural schools.
Citing a technology initiative, the Foundation reported: "Think of a single PC with three display terminals, three keyboards and three 'mouses', which can be simultaneou
sly used as if they are three independent computers". This innovative idea from the Azim Premji Foundation is being deployed in the computer aided learning centre at the Byatarayanapura Higher Primary School in Bangalore South District and in another school.

SEMICONDUCTORS
Set-top boxes, mobile phones, smart card readers, power windows in cars, white goods, laptops, hearing aid devices, portable media players, hand-held billing devices and energy meters - What do all of them have in common? The answer is they are all powered by semiconductors. To say that semiconductors are ubiquitous would not be an understatement - to call them 'the oil of the information age' would drive home the point how important they are in WIPRO's daily lives. With the electronics market exploding and with semiconductor consumption booming worldwide, the tremendous opportunity for semiconductor companies also brings with it the increasing pressure to keep pace with the shortening development cycles and the need for newer and more innovative products. However not all the products that hit the market are successful since the consumer today is extremely particular about price and performance leaving semiconductor companies to grapple with the triple challenges of increasing complexity, shorter timelines and increasing risk. The Semiconductor Group at Wipro Technologies has developed the requisite skill sets and industry specific solutions and today provides complete Product Engineering Solutions meeting critical time-to-market demands of customers with design reliability, scalability and upgradeability.The offerings include:
->High end ASIC/SoC development

->BIRTH OF WIPRO
Wipro was set up in 1945. Primarily an edible oil factory, the chief products were Sunflower Vanaspati and 787 laundry soap (a by-product of the Vanaspati operations). The company was called Western India Vegetable Products Limited; it had a minor presence in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. In the 1970s and 1980s , it began to expand and made forays into computing. In 1975, Wipro marketed India's first homegrown PC.
Wipro was the sole representative for Sun Microsystems in India, before the Sun liaison office was set up in India, in the early 1990s.
Wipro is the highest-ranked Indian IT provider by International Association of Outsourcing Professionals.
Wipro and its success in handling outsourced information technology from US businesses is detailed in Thomas L. Friedman's best-selling book The World Is Flat and Steve Hamm's Bangalore Tiger. Wipro's offshore model is considered 'unique among the larger players in the security consulting space' according to an independent report by Forrester Research.
