Bangalore, July 24, 2005
Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT) today announced the appointment of
P R “Sekar” Chandrasekhar as the Chief Executive of Americas and Europe. Sekar
has been leading the European Operations for Wipro.
Under his leadership Wipro’s European operations have
consistently grown ahead of the industry, driven by wins in a number of key
deals, deepening of client engagements and expansion of service lines,

Global IT services and BPO provider. He has also had a successful stint in
Wipro GE Medical Systems in Sales. Prior to joining Wipro, Sekar was
responsible for MandA for GE India.
Rich Garnick, Head of Wipro’s America Sales has resigned
after four years at Wipro. Rich has contributed to institutionalizing the sales
processes in North America, and in making Wipro a market leader across services
lines.
Commenting on this change, Mr. Azim Premji, Chairman, Wipro
