Our Bureau

Mumbai, Sept. 5

WIPRO will be going on a recruitment drive, having drawn up plans to recruit 6,000 software engineers and another 3,000 personnel for IT-enabled services such as BPO services and call centres, according to Mr Azim Premji, Chairman, Wipro.

He was addressing a meeting organised by the FICCI's Western Region Council and McKinsey.

Stating that the average age of its 24,000 employees was only 26.5 years, Mr Premji said that manpower training formed a vital part of its business strategy.

This amounted to about five per cent of the company's total compensation costs.

He said the company was seriously looking at the growing computer hardware market in China and indicated that Wipro would enter the Chinese market within a couple of years.
