Wipro opens new technology arm in Texas

TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi/ Wipro, India’s third-largest information technology services company, on Tuesday said it had opened a technology centre in Plano, Texas, and planned to grow its headcount to 2,000 in the US state over the next few years. The Bengaluru-headquartered firm has around 1,400 employees working in Texas alone.

The Texas technology centre, which initially employed around 150 people, is focused on developing capabilities in new and emerging technologies. The new facility that would house Wipro’s US cyber security centre would also serve as a hub for advanced analytics, the company said.

“With more than 1,400 employees in Texas and major operations now in Plano, Dallas, and Houston, Wipro is playing an important role in the Texas economy,” said Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who on Tuesday visited Wipro’s facility in Electronic City, Bengaluru, along with senior officials of the state’s administration.

In addition, Wipro has major operations in Dallas and Houston in Texas. The company has a 26,000-square feet facility in Houston, which serves as a hub to drive digital business transformation for its clients from the energy sector.
