Wipro centres in 6 more cities likely

Wipro is evaluating five to six new locations for expanding its operations in the country.

"We continue to look at more opportunities where there is infrastructure, workforce and fibre optics. We are looking at least five to six more locations," Wipro Spectramind chairman and managing director Raman Roy told newspersons in New Delhi on Friday.

He said the company was trying to weigh its options and also its future plans. "Expansion is a given in our business. We went live in Kolkata last month and are very excited about the growth. We already have a thousand people in Kolkata," he said.

He said Wipro Spectramind had 13,000 people at the end of last quarter. "We will continue to grow and people will need seats."

On the impact of US election results on business, he said customers are back and are buoyant on business. There is a huge opportunity for the sector to grow and the only limitation is limitations as a country, he added.
