Wipro on Monday announced its plans to expand its workforce over the next twelve months in Qatar. Currently, over 350 employees work on Wipro’s Qatar based customer projects.
“Qatar, today offers a great opportunity for Wipro and we believe in combining our industry domain skills with technology to bring business value to our clients,” Wipro Country Head, Qatar & Kuwait Hariprasad Sasidharan said at the inauguration ceremony of the new office in Doha.
“We are seeing demand for propositions like digital, analytics and mobility and it is encouraging to see Qatar leading the investments in some of these areas.”
Wipro has added customers across various sectors and has a strong base in banking, telecom as well as oil & gas verticals.
Wipro’s Middle East business head and vice president Jack Smies noted that the IT demand across the region is holding steady and Qatar is in an enviable position due to prolonged budget surplus in the last few years.
“Given the strong pipeline in Qatar, Wipro plans to significantly increase the headcount over the next twelve months and scale up its near shore delivery centers,” Smies added.
